In
celebration of National Poetry Month, Tompkins County Public Library’s
“Freeloading Librarians,” will spend April 24, “Poem in Your Pocket Day,”
distributing poems throughout the community.
Launched in New York City in 2002, “Poem in Your Pocket Day,” celebrates the rich history of pocket poems—from commonplace books during the Renaissance to pocket-sized publications carried by World War II soldiers. Since 2008, bookstores, schools, libraries, parks and businesses across the country have embraced “Poem in Your Pocket Day” by encouraging open readings of pocket poems.
TCPL librarians will distribute free poems in the Library, on the Ithaca Commons, and in other select locations throughout the day. Poems will also be available at the Adult Services Reference Desk.
For more information, contact Teresa Vadakin at (607) 272-4557 extension 272 or tvadakin@tcpl.org.
