POETRY FOR LIBRARIANS: From Poets House in NYC: "On the weekend of Oct. 27-28, librarians from across the country will gather in Poets House's acclaimed library for the fourth Poetry in The Branches National Institute. Spend a weekend immersed in the rich world of poetry! Here at Poets House you will find resources for developing your library’s poetry collection, explore our 45,000-volume collection, and hear poetry from and connect personally with our guest poets. Learn how to reach out to and empower your patrons through poetry. Leave the weekend with a practical poetry plan for your library and lots of nuts-and-bolts information to help make that plan a reality. At night, eat and drink with your colleagues and experience the wealth of cultural events that New York City has to offer. You will go home refreshed and inspired!" Sounds good to me. I could hang out at Poets House for days and days.
