The Official CBC Bookmark Reveal

February 26, 2015 by Betsy Bird   7 comments

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, April 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.

To print a bookmark of your own go here.

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

    Hi Betsy! Wish I could come to this event. I think you meant April 26th instead of May, right? I don’t want anyone else to have to miss out!
    Best,
    Galen

    Is it just my computer, or did you neglect to include a widget or something to “go to” in order to print out the bookmark???
    Thanks,
