Three Little Kittens They Lost Their Mittens . . .
. . . and they began to cry!
Have you lost your mittens? Or umbrella, or scarf, or notebook, or keys, or . . . .
Visit the lost and found display near the stairs on the main floor of Hagerty Library and reclaim your long-lost stuff! The circulation desks at each library hold lost items to be reunited with their owners.
Our lost-and-found display celebrates National Poetry Month, with Elizabeth Bishop's "One Art".
One Art
Elizabeth Bishop
The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.
Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.
I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.
--Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

I would like to see some kittens in mittens. That would make for some funny kittens.
