It’s National Library Month, and the Mira Costa is joining in the fun with other libraries from across the country creating Spine Poetry. What is it? It’s using the titles of books as they appear on their spines, and putting them together to form free verses. Here are a couple of examples created so far by Mira Costa students:

 

To see more student spine poems, come by the library or check our online Flickr.com gallery.
You can also enjoy more spine poetry on this blog.

Mira Costa students, teachers, and friends are invited to join the Spine Poetry contest. Either come by the library to create a poem and have me take a photo of it, or you can email me a photo. Submissions are due by Monday, April 30. Poems will be judged by English Teacher volunteers, and the winner will receive an iTunes gift certificate.

Happy Poetry Month!
