The Thompson Public Library is doing some creative things when it comes to programming, such as black-out poetry and a book tasting.

Leila Graham, from the Thompson Public Library, joined Chris Walker on the 102.9 CHTM morning show to talk about what blackout poetry is.

Graham said that to do blackout poetry, you take a book that you don't want anymore (or some pages from a basket at the library) and simply black out words to make the poem. An exmaple of blacout poetry is below.

Graham went on to explain that the book tasting involves everyone reading a different book, then discussing it with others to allow people to sample all of the books.
