April 5–9 Annual Library Poetry Egg Hunt Outdoors

Please join the Grinnell College Libraries in celebrating National Poetry Month with a poetry egg hunt during the week of April 5–9 on Grinnell College campus.

What: Poetry Egg Hunt
When: April 5–9, 2021
Where: Campus Grounds

Over 100 eggs filled with a poem and a gift will be hidden around campus and you are free to open the eggs and share the poems with others.

We ask that you:

• Please maintain the designated social distancing and wear a mask.
• Please return the eggs to the library dropbox.
• Please limit two eggs per person per day to give everyone a chance to have a fun experience of finding and reading a good poem.

National Poetry Month is the largest literary celebration in the world, with tens of millions of readers, students, K-12 teachers, librarians, booksellers, literary events curators, publishers, bloggers, and, of course, poets marking poetry’s important place in our culture and our lives every April.
