"So what's the talk of the town these days? Well the relative brouhaha came about at the end of last week when ReedPOP announced a panel of 'the world's biggest children's authors' in the field." Happy National Library Week.
Press Release Fun: Children’s Literary Salon – Podcasting Children’s Books
I’m so pleased with this next Salon that I’m fit to burst. Somehow I managed to wrangle THREE of our best children’s literary podcasters into one place at one time. If I were a person prone to the term “squee” I would apply it here, now. New York Public Library is pleased to announce our [...]
