Poetry Month celebration and contest. Subjects ranged from the African Plains to a humble Hoosier mushroom, from love and friendship to the wisdom of starting over. We hope that all those who participated enjoyed writing their poems and will keep on writing. </p> <p>Everyone is invited to our Poetry Awards Reception on Wednesday, April 29 at 6:30 p.m. Winners of the contest will be announced, prizes awarded, and light refreshments will be served. Anyone who submitted a poem to our contest is invited to read one poem aloud at the reception. </p> <p>Make plans to celebrate with us on April 29.</p>http://evpl.org/community/blogs/kids/archive/2008/09/10/greg-heffly-fans-unite.aspxWed, 10 Sep 2008 21:24:00 GMT9a7b961d-7882-4302-b701-732ca0e566f2:490mrsweasley@evpl<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;"> <p class="MsoNormal"><img width="100" src="http://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?UserID=III21&amp;Password=BT0005&amp;Return=T&amp;Type=L&amp;Value=9780810994737" alt="Book Cover, Rodrick Rules" height="150" style="float:right;margin:10px;" /></p> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;<img width="100" src="http://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?UserID=III21&amp;Password=BT0005&amp;Return=T&amp;Type=L&amp;Value=0810993139" alt="Book Jacket, Diary of a Wimpy Kid" height="150" style="float:left;margin:10px;" /></p> <p>For some wacky fun, join us at McCollough Branch for &quot;Diary of a Wimpy Kid,&quot; a program based on the popular book series by Jeff Kinney.
