You may know that April is National Poetry Month, but did you know that Thursday April 27 is “Poem in Your Pocket” Day? The Academy of American Poets encourages poetry lovers to celebrate by selecting a poem and sharing it with others throughout the day at schools, bookstores, libraries, parks, workplaces, and on social media using the hashtag #PocketPoem.

I am choosing to share here the poem “Sometimes” by Rae Crossman, which illustrates why I love poetry.

*************

Sometimes by Rae Crossman

Rushing into our early morning bedroom

with her

under-the-pillow discovery.

 

My daughter’s

toothless grin.

 

Sometimes poetry is like that:

all tooth fairy

no incisors.

 

Sometimes

it’s wolf canines

and snap of bone.

**************

Please consider sharing a poem you love or that inspires you with a friend on April 27, either directly or via social media.

Bike Scranton is back with a new name – Bike Lackawanna! For the 2023 season the library has 6 bikes of different sizes to lend to anyone age 18 or over. Bikes may be borrowed whenever the library is open, and all bikes must be returned before the library closes that same day. There is no charge for borrowing bikes. Stop by the Library Services Desk and borrow a bike soon!

Just a reminder, the Library is completely closed over the break. There is no swipe access to the building as of now, until 8am, Tuesday Jan.3rd.

Happy Holidays everyone!
