The Poetry Foundation library is the Midwest's only library dedicated entirely to poetry—home to more than 40,000 volumes of poetry, poet biographies, and criticism, as well as audio and video recordings. Learn more about the library or plan your visit.

As we develop our next strategic plan for the library, we want to learn from the people who matter most: our visitors. Please take 2–7 minutes to complete this anonymous survey by July 31, 2026. Your responses will directly inform how we grow and serve our community.

We appreciate your insights!
