The Poet-Tree Display
Thanks to Jill from the L.E. Phillips Memorial Public Library for this guest post.  
I have not always been inspired to do an April Poetry Display, but this year I came up with this “Poet-Tree” and I’m really happy with it. It incorporates poems relating to the parts of the tree and the nature around it, and also some of our staff’s favorite poems.

I hope that it will catch the attention of kids and parents during our upcoming storytime break. I also hung a “poem Pocket” and put in small copies of poems for people to take. Any one of these ideas alone or combined makes a fun and eye catching April Display.
Poem pocket–poems for the taking!
