I hope this doesn't junk up anyone's mailbox with materials they don't want, 
but I'd like to tell as many librarians as possible about a forum we've 
created on our web site (http://www.poets.org) where librarians can share 
their ideas about how to participate effectively in National Poetry Month.
     
Some ALA people we work with suggested that librarians would really welcome 
the opportunity to share National Poetry Month ideas with each other, if we 
would only create a place where they could do it.  
     
We've created such a place, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be getting 
much use.  I'm hoping it's just a matter of librarians being unaware of its 
existence.
     
Thus, I'd like to invite you to visit www.poets.org and look under the 
heading of "National Poetry Month" for an area called "Forums".  If you know 
a lot about poetry already, we hope you will go there to provide advice to 
those librarians who don't.  And, if you'd like to get ideas about things 
you can do, we hope you'll post your questions there as well.
     
Thanks to all of you.
     
Kindly,
     
Tom Bevan
National Poetry Month Coordinator
     
P.S. You'll find that, with the help of Poets House in New York, and ALA, 
we've provided some tips to get you started, in the "Resources" area of the 
site.
