Katonah
Poetry Series
In 1967 the Katonah Village Library and the New York
State Poets and Writers program began sponsoring three
poetry readings each year, playing host to dozens of
poets and many hundreds of poetry aficionados. Under the
direction of poet Robert Phillips from 1967 to 1991, and
under Billy Collins since then, the Poetry Series has
attracted a lot of major contemporary poets. As Billy
Collins said at the beginning of his tenure as
Poet-in-Residence, "If you sat
on the steps of the Katonah Library for the past 23 years
without moving, nearly every notable American poet would
walk by you."
For details on the poetry readings, please contact the Library at 232-3508.
Book Discussion Group
The Library's Book Discussion Group has been meeting
every three weeks (with occasional one-week lapses due to
holidays) since 1983. The group meets on Wednesday
evenings at 8 PM and talks informally about plot,
character, motivation, language, and anything else that
comes to mind for about an hour before checking out the
author's biographical facts and what critics have had to
say about the book under discussion.
Anyone interested is cordially invited to pick up a copy of the upcoming book (lists for future dates and copies of the current book are always available at the Main Desk) and join the fun! The books are almost always fiction, with a fair distribution between male and female authors; and a range of publication dates from the nineteenth century up to a few months ago.
