Shawano County Library celebrating National Poetry Month

The second annual National Poetry Month returns to Shawano County Library in April. Shawano County Library has several activities planned during the month, including the following: • Online poetry readings on Mondays and Thursdays on the library’s Facebook page. • An in-person poetry reading on April 28 at 2 p.m. at the Shawano Public Library, 128 S. Sawyer St., Shawano. Patrons can read their own favorite poem or hear library staff share theirs. • A self-directed poetry challenge using Beanstack. Beanstack is available online at shawanolibrary.beanstack.org or through the app Beanstack Tracker. The challenge consists of exploring poetry through reading it, hearing it, and creating it. National Poetry Month was launched by the Academy of American Poets in 1996. For information, call 715-526-3829.
