Halloween Scarecrow Contest
Stop by the Springport or Parma Branches to pick up a t-post and create an original scarecrow to display on Main Street in Springport and in the Park next to the library in Parma! We’ll have suggestions for designs and a list of where you can get straw, too.
All entries receive a special “goodie” and certificate and the two winning entries (under 12 and over 12) receive a basket of neat Fall stuff!
Drop off scarecrows during library open hours October 14-24. All entries will be displayed through October 31.
Black Out Poetry
Drop in for black out poetry! Similar to a treasure hunt, you’ll find hidden meaning and secret messages. Black out poetry uses newspapers, old book pages, scissors, and a black market to create original poetry! Scan the page for words/phrases that jump out at you, and look at those words as raw material to make your poem. Black out everything else on the page, and create something entirely new.
