Poetry Series by the Friends of the Scranton Public Library

April 1, 2017

We’re kicking off National Poetry Month in April with a closer look into the Friends of the Scranton Public Library’s Poetry Series.

This series includes video recordings of various poets reading their poems in front of a live audience. They have been recorded to give future audiences’ the chance to see them time and time again.

You can check out the Poetry Series on DVD at the Albright Memorial Library or by visiting the YouTube channel to instantly watch the readings.
