Day Calendar

Celebrate Poetry Month by adding to our Community Poet-Tree!  Throughout April, Almonte will grow our "Tree of Lanterns" by adding poetry "leaves".  We'll have leaves and examples of poetry throughout the library.

Come to the library and hunt for emoji clues to complete a famous poem! Draw or write your answers. 

You will receive a small prize and a copy of the poem when you are done.

Celebrate National Poetry Month with a fun, creative take-home kit that brings poetry into your everyday life. Ages 16+. While supplies last.

Looking for fun and engaging ways to play with your little one at home? Our skilled Children’s Librarians have developed a special take home kit just for you! Our 123! Play with Me at Home!

Do you have trouble keeping your plants alive? Take home this kit and make your own carefree plant! No upkeep needed. This kit includes beads, wire, and a pot to create your own non-living plant. 

To celebrate National Poetry Month and the new spring weather, come participate in our Spring Poetry Walk on April 13th through April 19th located on the back patio at Choctaw Library.

Celebrate National Poetry Month with a book box created to spark your own writing!

Celebrate Poetry Month with a Poetic Mindfulness Journal, created for teens and adults who have either never written a poem before or been published many times.

Owls swallow their prey whole, and their digestive systems separate flesh from bone. Later, they regurgitate compact pellets containing undigested skeleton bones.

Find clues around the library and learn fun facts about the Earth. Finish the hunt and get a small prize like a bracelet or highlighter.
