Inspect the Collection with the Shelf-Reading Brigade!
You’re well-read. You’re cultivated. You eat poems for breakfast. But how well do you really know the Poetry Center’s collection? Join the Shelf-Reading Brigade to find out! On April 12, we’ll read shelves (check each shelf to make sure books are in the proper order) from 5 to 8 p.m. Along the way, we can just about guarantee that you’ll discover some new-to-you poetry—or rediscover an old favorite. Bring a notebook, jot down titles for later, and refresh yourself afterward with free pizza courtesy of the Poetry Center.

In addition, all our shelvers will be entered in a drawing to win a$25 gift certificate to Antigone Books!

No prior training is needed—we’ll bring you up to speed when you arrive. We will meet in the library at 5 pm and end no later than 8 pm. Space is limited to 25 shelvers and prior sign-up is required. To sign up, email Sarah Kortemeier at ssk@email.arizona.edu by April 10.
