In celebration of National Poetry Month in April, Pioneer Library will be holding a Blackout Poetry Contest. Teens and adults will be given a page cut out from a withdrawn paperback book. Then, using the words on the page, they will create a poem by blacking out, coloring, and using artistic talents to feature words that create a poem on the page. An example of Blackout Poetry can be seen at the Pioneer Branch Library.
