We’re so pleased to provide this archive of recordings of Eli Terry Jr. Middle School students reading some of their chosen poetry selections.  From humerous to somber, these selections reflect the diversity of talent and topic that great art is known for!

New recordings are posted daily to the Library’s Facebook page and this page was updated on April 19, 2021.  No additional poetry readings were available.  We look forward to collaborating with the Middle School again next year.
