About the Poulin Project:
The Poulin Project provides New York state libraries, schools, prisons, and community centers with free box sets of contemporary literature from small presses around the state. Sets include 50-75 titles by publishers including NY Review Books, Graywolf Press, Fence Books, and many others. Please note we are limited to distributing 60 sets, and you can expect its shipment in September 2019.
The Poulin Project is a NYSCA-funded initiative dedicated to expanding access to the arts and literacy. The project supports New York State independent publishers by introducing works by hundreds of contemporary writers and poets to new audiences, and enables public institutions to diversify their collections.
The Distribution to Underserved Communities Library Program (D.U.C.) distributes books on contemporary art and culture to public schools, libraries, prisons, and alternative education centers nationwide, free of charge. D.U.C. books create access to the arts and literacy these institutions could not otherwise afford to acquire.
