Here's the event information written up by Michael Joseph for the Children's Poetry Panel that will be reading on December 7th, 2009 at Rutgers New Brunswick's Alexander Library:

Children’s Poetry Reading

The Rutgers University Libraries are pleased to present a group poetry reading on December 7, 2009 from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Archibald S. Alexander Library.

The reading is highly informal – an opportunity for people who like reading and hearing children’s poetry to get together and share favorites – and audience members are invited to bring one or two poems to read. Reading is optional, of course, and individuals who want to attend just to hear the spoken word are very welcome. (There will be anthologies available!)

Readings will be held in the Teleconference Hall on the fourth floor of the Alexander Library, 169 College Avenue in New Brunswick. RSVP Michael Joseph ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ). This event is free of charge and all are welcome to attend (even children).
