Write a Poem About a Library


Not only is this National Poetry Month. It's also National Library Week.


Put the two together, and what do you get? No, not a mixed-up calendar. You get a poem about a library!

Do you have a library at school or in your town? What do you love about it? Is it the big windows? The shelves of books? The rows of computers? The helpful library workers? The storytimes? 

We can celebrate our library with an acrostic poem. That's a poem in which the letters of a word (like "library") give us the first line.

Here's my library acrostic. Have fun creating your own!

Lots and lots and lots of 
Interesting 
Books.
Real stories and made-up stories
About animals, action, and adventure. 
Read! 
Your library has the perfect book to carry you away.
