We want the Poetry Archive to be fully enjoyed by readers in public libraries. To help us achieve this, we have asked the Reading Agency to help us develop a toolkit for librarians.
You can use the Archive to raise the profile of poetry in your library, to kick-start (or develop) your poetry reading group, to mount displays to show off and extend your poetry stock, and to choose poets for live events.
