What We’re Reading Wednesday: The Poetry Month Print-Your-Own-Bookmark Edition!

It’s April, which means we’ve been reading poetry (or re-reading some of our favorites) for National Poetry Month!

To help you keep track of your progress in books you’re currently reading, the Durham Tech Library has created some coloring page bookmarks for you.

Click on the images below to access the pdf of the coloring page bookmarks and print them out for yourself– remember to print 2-sided short edge (which–side note–is also how you print an awesome brochure). We recommend using some cardstock.
