“My Exquisite Día” – Family Poetry Series
Children and teens in grades 3-12 are invited to celebrate National Poetry Month and El
día de los niños/El día de los libros (Children's Day/Book Day) at the Cumberland
County Library! Presented in cooperation with Bridgeton Municipal Alliance - Y2Y, this
family friendly poetry series will take place over three Saturdays in April and will focus
on the children’s book Exquisite: the poetry and life of Gwendolyn Brooks.
Saturday, April 1 – Participants will learn about poet Gwendolyn Brooks, who is known
for her poetry about “real life.” We’ll then create our own poems based on our own,
everyday, exquisite lives!
Saturday, April 15 – Poets will take a “Creativity Crash Course” as they visit hands-on
creation spaces and turn their poetry into works of art. Finished products will be turned
into posters to be displayed during our Poetry Reception!
Saturday, April 29 – Families will gather once again for our Red-Carpet Poetry
Reception! Young poets will read their poems and be recognized for their achievements.
A recording will be made for the library’s Youtube page and parents will be sent a link.
All supplies will be included for this free event. Registration is required and families are
encouraged to attend all three sessions. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
