A book spine poetry contest by The Sylvania Branch of the Toledo-Lucas County Library is holding a contest for poetry submissions made by stacking spine titles of items (books, CDs, Books on CD, DVDs) in its collection. Stack your favorites for a story of your own. An official call for entries and rules will be available on June 30, so there is ample time to prepare a poem with enough spine to impress the judges. Submissions will be featured on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and at the library Submissions will be due by July 24. A ceremony will award prizes to the winners.
