Today’s Tidbits: TTW, the Spark Award, Hunger Games, and National Poetry Month

That’s right ladies and gentleman, this ultra cool pixalated cat is made from Post It notes.  865 of them to be exact.  And it took around 3 hours to complete.  I love it.  I put my super librarian skills to use and there are whole art galleries online of post it note art.  Here is one at Huffington Post, check it out.

Also in TLT news, be sure and check out my letter to Lauren Oliver and see how it led me to create the Spark Awards. 

Still planning your Hunger Games release party ideas?  There are tons online and you can find some good compilations right here at TLT: Feed Their Need for the Hunger Games part 1 and part 2 

Sure TTW is this week, but National Poetry Month is coming and there is still plenty of time to plan.  Check out TPIB: Poetically Speaking for some great programming ideas.  Also, here is a great poster I put together for you that features teen fiction that is inspired by and references poetry in one way or another:

When planning your NPM activities, be sure and check out Poemcrazy: Freeing your life with words by Susan G. Wooldridge. It has some fun activities and is one of my favorite books about tapping into your poetic self.

Have a great Teen Tech Week everyone, I look forward to the pics.  Be sure to leave a comment sharing what you are doing for Teen Tech Week, HG release parties, or National Poetry Month.  And don’t forget to nominate titles for the Spark Award throughout the year.
