Children’s and YA Lit Cafe: This Saturday!

May 14, 2008 by Betsy Bird   Leave a Comment

Last time I mentioned the NYPL Children’s and YA Lit Cafe I got some complaints that I didn’t advertise it far enough in advance.  I just got the info, so heads up!  It’s YA all the way and the theme is: Prom

Here is the official announcement:

To celebrate the launch of our new space at the Humanities Library (42nd St. and Fifth Ave – Berger Forum), we are excited to present…THE PROM COMMITTEE!!!

Please help us in welcoming authors of some of the best Prom Literature for teens!

A committee of fantastic authors will be reading from their work that deals with this unforgettable event!  They will answer questions, too.  Crazy prom stories welcomed — and encouraged!!

David Levithan (21 PROMS)
Nico Medina (FAT HOOCHIE PROM QUEEN)
Robin Palmer (CINDY ELLA)
Jeanine Ly Ny (ONCE UPON A PROM)
Brian Sloan (A REALLY NICE PROM MESS)

This is sure to be a really fun and festive event!!  In addition, it’s an opportunity to be a part of the very first wave of youth-related programming in the fantastic Humanities Building!  Let’s make our presence felt! WOOOOOOOOOO!
