I found out we have a word of the week. Why not have a book, poem, of the week? Just a small suggestion. Like ______ the book of the week, who it was by and why it's book of the week. Same thing with the poem..
We no longer have a word of the week because the person who was doing it was unable to continue to commit the time. The same problem will occur on a larger scale with a book or poem of the week. We do have a monthly book club - for now. These things require resources (people with time), and enough interested people to make it worth that effort.
I didn't know we have a monthly book club.... Well yes time is very much needed for one this thing to work and run.
