Launched by the Academy of American Poets in April 1996, National Poetry Month is a special occasion the celebrates poets’ integral role in our culture and that poetry matters. For the April Story Walk at Gibson Park, we have a list of Poems available along the trail for you to read and listen to! Each sign has a QR Code that links you to this site. You can find the numbered poems below and a link to their books and audio versions if they exist online.

The Great Falls Public Library supports the right of each family to decide which items are appropriate for use by their children. The poems included our National Poetry Month Story Walk come from books and websites that were originally published with a variety of different audiences in mind, including adults. Parents are encouraged to review these materials and other media before sharing them with their children.
