National Poetry Month

April is National Poetry Month! Join us in honoring poets and poetry by visiting McIntyre Library's PoeTree (poe-eh-tree), on display on the first floor of the library.

The PoeTree is for everyone! Stop by the PoeTree, write down a poem you love or a poem you've written yourself, and hang it on the tree!

Questions about the PoeTree? Contact Research & Instruction Librarian Robin Miller.
