Library

Congratulations to Aishwarya Bali, for being Martingrove's March Reader of the Month! Keep up the great reading!

Library

Harlem:
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat? 
Or crust and sugar over--
Like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags like a heavy load
or does it explode?

Are you the next Langston Hughes?
Martingrove students: April is Poetry Month across the continent. Consider entering the Annual Live Poet's Society Contest.
Poems are to be emailed. Please see posters for details or come to the library for more information.
