Oregon State Poetry Association and the Oregon State Library are still seeking donations of books for the Oregon Poetry Collection, an inclusive collection of books by Oregon poets, housed at the State Library and open to the public. Part of the collection will circulate, and part--including signed first editions, rare books, and second copies of circulating books--will be non-circulating for the purpose of long-term preservation.
Books by Oregon poets (i.e., poets resident, born, schooled, or raised in Oregon) should be shipped or brought to the following address:
- Oregon Poetry Collection
- Oregon State Library
- 250 Winter St. NE
- Salem, OR 97301-3950
Where possible, two copies of a given book would be welcome--one copy for the circulating part of the collection, the other for long-term preservation in the non-circulating part.
Before donating books, you may want to make sure that the State Library does not have copies of them already. The catalogue may be accessed via the State Library website, www.oregon.gov/OSL. In the case of duplicates, the State Library will offer the book to other libraries in the Oregon system. If you would prefer to have any book that turns out to be a duplicate returned to you, please request this in a cover letter.
If you have questions or suggestions concerning the Oregon Poetry Collection, contact OSPA President Sharon Roso
