October 29, 2009 by Betsy Bird   1 comments

We’ve a simply magnificent gathering here at the library in November, and it’s all about The Cybils.  Join if you can!

The Children’s Literary Café at the new Children’s Center at 42 nd Street is pleased to announce our event on Saturday, November 7th at 2:00 p.m.:

 
Cybils Kick-Off: Blogging in Style
 
Pam Coughlan of the sublime MotherReader children’s literary blog (www.motherreader.com) headlines a panel of representatives from the greater Kidlitosphere.  Each year the online children’s literary community bestows child and teen novels their own awards: The Cybils.  Pam and other bloggers will discuss the state of children’s literature online today including ethics, publisher/blogger relations, transparency, influence (or lack thereof) over published titles, and what it means to represent an online community of children’s literary enthusiasts.

 

Elizabeth Burns in the Youth Services Consultant for the New Jersey State Library Talking Book & Braille Center . She blogs at A Chair, A Fireplace & A Tea Cozy (yzocaet.blogspot.com). She is the co-author of Pop Goes the Library: Using Pop Culture to Connect with your Whole Community . She blogs about children’s and young adult books, television, and movies.

 

Susan Thomsen writes about children’s books at her blog, Chicken Spaghetti (http://www.chickenspaghetti.typepad.com). A freelance writer and onetime editor, she is the mother of a fifth-grader.

 

Anne Boles Levy is the co-founder and director of the Cybils Awards.  Her day job is as a news writer on the National Desk for Metro Networks, a radio newswire based in Scottsdale , AZ.   She’s married to another starving journalist and they’re raising two bookworms. 

 

The Children’s Literary Café is a monthly gathering of adults who are fans of children’s literature.  Professionals, librarians, authors, illustrators, publishers, booksellers, teachers, and anyone else interested in the field are welcome to attend our meetings.  The Literary Café provides free Advanced Readers galleys, a rotating series of talks with professionals in the field, and great conversation.  This program is for adults only.

    I’m so sorry to miss this. I’ll be out of town, drat. But I’m sure there will be detailed blog reports on the event. I certainly hope so.
