Since 1990, The Waterways Project of Ten Penny Players has published annual anthologies of poetry by Staten Island student poets; one book for young adults (grades 7-12) and another for children (k-6).

  The themes for the Bibliomania series have included: books, friendship, neighborhoods, food, music, plays, "practice makes perfect" and water.

  Each spring, Waterways invites the students published in Bibliomania to participate in two poetry readings at a Staten Island branch of the New York Public Library.  One for children and another for young adults. The library invites guest authors to each reading. Videotapes of the readings are made and edited for showing on a local public access cable channel.

Bibliomania 8: "Fear and Trembling."

Bibliomania is supported in part by The New York Public Library, The New York State Council on the Arts, Alternative, Adult and Continuing Education Schools and Programs.
