We are committed to preserving and promoting this literary treasure for generations to come. We lead with our values, maintaining a work culture that promotes continuous learning and respect for differing styles and points of view. We actively structure our policies to both welcome and support working artists. Two years ago Poets House experienced a catastrophic internal flood from faulty plumbing in our building. As we began repairs and opened walls, we uncovered serious engineering flaws in the building that have contributed to leaks small and large that Poets House has experienced over the years. To ensure a sustainable future, we worked with our architects and engineers to incorporate renovations and other improvements to the space that solve endemic problems, improve efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, protect the collections, increase earned income potential, and mitigate and prevent damage from future leaks. These improvements transform underutilized space into public space (Library Extension and Special Collections room); and significantly increase our public interface in key areas (the lobby) and adds desks for librarians. The Library Extension increases patron seating by 33% and adds 42% more shelf space for books, which will allow us to bring valuable donations out of long-term storage. Poets House reopened to full library services on January 30, 2024.
