Poetry Word Hunt Guide

Join us for our National Poetry Month activity!

Scattered around the second floor of the LRC will be words sourced from two different poems.

Try and build a poem with as many of the words you find--need some punctuation? Stop by the circulation desk to grab some.

Once your poem is finished, make sure to take a picture and tag our Instagram--#coastalcarolinacclibrary--or have a librarian do it for you!

After you are done, just drop all the words you found off at the circulation desk on the 2nd floor!
