Can you feel the rumble? Yes! SF Litquake is around the corner, and the International Poetry Library is hosting a poetry reading with an incredible line up of poets: Bruce Smith, Leticia Hernandez, Jules Gibbs, Karen Carissmo, Tomás Riley, and Becky Foust.

There are oodles of literary events from October 9-17, 2009, so check out the schedule and jump in.

In addition to our Litcrawl prep, we have been cataloging like wildfire, but still have a ways to go. We haveve catalogued 600 new titles (does not count duplicates or literary magazines) and labeled 300 more. Thanks to my student volunteers, who worked on a Saturday!
