This is the last week to take the Poetry Quiz and celebrate National Poetry Month.

Pick up a quiz in the main foyer of the library, the YA Department or in Reference, and turn in your answers at the main floor circulation desk. All correct entries will be placed in a drawing to win a $25 Borders gift card at the end of the month.

Answers can be found in our poetry books and other sources. We look forward to lots of entries!

*YA Book Talk: Let’s talk about Things Not Seen by Andrew Clements on Wednesday, May 11, from 4 to 5 pm.

In this YA Nutmeg nominee, fifteen-year-old Bobby wakes up and finds himself invisible. He and his parents and his new blind friend Alicia try to find out what caused his condition and how to be seen again before it’s too late.

Copies are in the YA area right next to the bicycle. Sign up at the Main Floor Circulation Desk or call the library.
