April is the perfect time to get outdoors and enjoy a good book at the same time. If you have little ones or just like to read children's books, we encourage you to take the StoryWalk® on display at Delano Park through April 14th. We also offer eAudiobooks you can download from Libby or hoopla to listen to as you spend time outdoors. If you prefer text, you can download from either of the apps or come browse the stacks to find a great book to enjoy in the sunshine.
If you are looking for something different from your normal reading, April is National Poetry Month. You can find poetry on Libby, hoopla, and on our shelves in the library, in the 811 and 821 sections of non-fiction. In the display case on the 6th Avenue side of the library, a poetry display with an activity for adults (based on BINGO) will help you explore poetry.
The April task for the Adult Reading Challenge is to read a book of poetry by an American author. There are lots of possibilities, from old standards like Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, and Walt Whitman to new voices like Amanda Gorman, Ocean Vuong or Poet Laureate of the United States, Ada Limón. We hope you find a poet whose voice speaks to you and makes you glad you picked up a book of poetry this month.
Happy Reading!
