Top Western musician Doc Stovall and librarian Liz Gentry of the Cartersville, Georgia Booth Western Art Museum continue to build the Museum's Research Library Cowboy Poetry collection, and they seek Cowboy Poetry book donations from poets and others. They write:

The Booth Western Art Museum Research Library started three years prior to its opening with approximately 900 books given to us by a wonderful benefactor. It has grown to about 10,000 volumes that includes books, periodicals and videos and DVDs. We have approximately 5500 books in various categories that support our mission statement. We have books on Western Art, Art in General, Native American History, Presidential History and the Civil War. We are lacking in several areas, one being Cowboy Poetry. In supporting the education department and their outreach to schools we are continually looking for books that will fulfill their requests. We would greatly appreciate any donations from your poets to help make our library the best in the West (South) that is. Please invite them to drop in and give us a Big Howdy when they are in the Atlanta, Georgia area.

Books can be sent to:
