Celebrate National Poetry Month! Creating an erasure poem is a wonderful creative escape and act of discovery! You start with a page of text, circle the words selected for the poem, then darken the other words on the page.  Come to the library for an Erasure Poem Take and Make kit, complete with an example of an erasure poem, a page from a random page from a library book, and a few crayons. 

Submit your creation at the Information Desk during the month of April, to be eligible to win a book of poems!
