| Poets House believes librarians are a critical link between writers and readers. We are committed to working with librarians across the country to encourage familiarity with the diversity of contemporary poetry, and understanding of poetry's unique ability to engage young people, bring together communities, and transform individual lives.
Together with the New York and Brooklyn Public Library Systems, Poets House has developed Poetry in The Branches (PITB). PITB is a multi-faceted, replicable program model that helps librarians create a complete environment for poetry in their library. Poets House makes this model available to librarians nationwide through the Poetry in The Branches Sourcebook, on-site trainings, consulting, our PITB National Institute, and at the American Library Association's annual conference. |
