The Poet Tree Corner features a tree built out
from the northeast corner of the second floor. Inside, there
is room for a child to sit and read or write. The area also
includes an interactive magnetic poetry board and a stage with
levels for performing or reading. All are set against a
backdrop of river and sky. In addition, the children's poetry
books have been relocated to the Poet Tree Corner.
