Event Location: 
Poets House, Spring Street

On the weekend of October 12-13, 2007, librarians from across the country will gather in Poets House's acclaimed library for the fifth Poetry in The Branches National Institute, a weekend designed to help librarians build community audiences, develop substantive poetry collections and create successful reading series in public libraries nationwide.

Join Us!

Spend a weekend immersed in the rich world of poetry! Here at Poets House you will find resources for developing your library’s poetry collection, explore our 50,000-volume collection, and hear poetry from and connect personally with our guest poets. Learn how to reach out to and empower your patrons through poetry. Leave the weekend with a practical poetry plan for your library and lots of nuts-and-bolts information to help make that plan a reality. At night, eat and drink with your colleagues and experience the wealth of cultural events that New York City has to offer. You will go home refreshed and inspired!

* Readings/conversations/workshops with guest poets
* Programming for teens

* Poetry programs on a shoestring budget
* Building community audiences and finding local resources
* Poetry writing workshops
* Techniques for leading poetry discussion groups
