The Library’s Blog

It’s April, spring, and National Poetry Month when all good souls turn to thoughts of love, birdsong, and writing. Channel your springtime impulse to write, if not the great American novel, a few words of poetry or just words that sound nice, that record your thoughts, feelings, appreciation, wonder, etc. and write those words on catalog cards. Yes, catalog cards. The old, beautiful, weathered wooden card catalog is going to rest at Augustana and the cards are going to be recycled. Well, let’s honor the cards by writing/drawing/glueing on them. We have loads of them in the library–on the puzzle table. Pick up one or two and let your imagination go to work. We’ll be displaying the cards in the library during the month. Happy writing!!
