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:
·
our PITB
National Institute
·
on-site
trainings at your local
library
·
consulting
·
our PITB
Sourcebook
Questions about the PITB model can be directed to Reginald
Harris at (212) 431-7920 x2842 or reggie@poetshouse.org
