WHAT TIME IS IT, AMERICA!!!????!!!

If you answered that it was time for Children’s Book Week, you’d almost be right.  Actually, Children’s Book Week (now in its 96th year) isn’t until May 4th – 10th.  In preparation, I have a bit of a treat planned.  On Sunday, May 26th at 2:00 p.m. the following program will be taking place at NYPL:

Children’s Literary Salon: Children’s Book Week – Its Past, Present, and Future

Established in 1919, Children’s Book Week is the longest-running national literacy initiative in the country. Join Children’s Book Council (CBC) Communications Director Nicole Deming as she discusses both the history and the latest initiatives of this one-of-a-kind event.

And how shall we celebrate this momentous occasion?  With a premiere of the official Children’s Book Council bookmark, of course!  It’s Raul Colon and it is gorgeous.

Thanks to Nicole and the other CBC folks for letting me in on this reveal!
