Happy National Pencil Day! To celebrate, grab a pencil and paper and find your creativity by sketching your next masterpiece!

April is National Poetry Month, 30 days of celebrating the joy, expressiveness, and pure delight of poetry! What is blackout poetry you ask? Blackout poetry is when you take a written piece of text from a book, newspaper, or magazine and redact words, to come up with your very own poetry. You can make it into cool picture designs too. Don’t worry we won’t make you read your poem out loud unless you want to. Brownie points if you do! If you want to do this at home grab some old newspapers, magazines, or books (ask your guardian first before using old books) then grab a black marker or color of your choice and blackout the words you don’t want to use in your poem and that’s it.

It’s National Scrabble Day! Are you really good at spelling or maybe you need to brush up on some words? Challenge your friends to a game of Scrabble at the library. See who can score the most points on the “Triple Word Scores”!

In the month of April we celebrate Golfer’s Day. We wanted to extend that fun to our awesome 6th-12th Graders. Bring a friend, build a golf course using jumbo Legos, and see if you and your friends can get through the course!

It’s National Library Week! To celebrate the library has put together a breakout box. You and your friends must work together to figure out clues about the library to gain entrance to each box level.

May the Fourth be with you! Stop by in your best Star Wars costume or graphic t-shirt. We will be making Star War Key Chains using Perler Beads. Pattern sheets with Instructions will be provided.
