The Official CBC Bookmark Reveal
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!

Such a beautiful representation of all that is good with children’s books! LOVE Raul Colon!
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
Whoops! Yep, April. Off to correct. Thanks for the catch!
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,
Whoops! The link isn’t there! Sorry about that. Correcting!
I have SUCH a thing for bookmarks, Betsy, and this one’s a beauty 😀
