I started doing a monthly display of YA books back in the fall--and since April is National Poetry Month, I decided to do something a bit different (and more interactive)--spine poetry!
Spine poetry? What?
No, it's not poems about the miraculousness of the human spine (though it is pretty amazing)--spine poetry is the art (if you want to call it that) of stacking or shelving books so that the titles listed on the spines somewhat make sense to create a poem. Here are some examples I found online:
And here are a couple I made myself with some of our own YA titles:
Want to create your own spine poetry? We'd love to see it! You can either create your own at home or school and post them on our Facebook or Twitter pages--or when you come into the library, use the computer counter to make some (of course we want to see them too--so you can either post them or let us know and we'll snap a few pictures to add). We'll be doing this throughout the month of April--it'll be cool to see what you come up with :)
And speaking of coming into the library.......next Thursday would be a good time to do that. Why, you may ask? Because it's Teen Lit Day, and we'll be celebrating all day long! Young Adults (12-18) can bring their library cards to the desk in the Children's Department for a goody throughout the day, and then we'll be showing I Am Number Four at 6PM that evening, with free popcorn and drinks. Floyd County schools are out the next day, so it's the perfect kickoff for your Spring Break!
