Sherburne County Parks is thrilled to partner with the Great River Regional Library and the City of Elk River Parks & Recreation to combine literacy with some favorite outdoor spaces.

They’re hosting a Poetry Project for those up to 18 years old, and providing more of a Poetry Path in the parks, featuring submitted work! The theme of the project is Find Your Voice!  Submitted poems will be posted along paths in Elk River’s new and improved Orono Park and well as Sherburne County’s Grams Park, Bridgeview Park and Oak Savanna Park throughout the summer reading program.

To participate, sharpen your pencils and pick up your Poetry Form at the Big Lake, Becker, or the Elk River libraries.  You can also print the form the Sherburne County Parks & Recreation website or the City of Elk River Parks & Recreation website. .

Poetry submissions will be accepted at each participating branch until the end of February.
