I'm delighted to announce a Very Special Episode of our Kidlit Drink Nights -- the Holiday Edition!
Monday, December 10
7 p.m.
Faces and Names
159 W. 54th St. (between 6th and 7th Aves.)
Yes, Betsy and I were so impressed by this bar at the NCTE/Vermont College Happy Hour that we decided to move uptown. But more than that, because this is the holiday season, we are asking all attendees to please bring at least one book in new condition for donation to the Children's Aid Society. These can be novels or picture books, frontlist or backlist, hardcover or paperback . . . We'll take 'em all in hopes of sharing the wonderful wealth of children's literature with kids who may not otherwise have books of their own. Toys will also be accepted; if you'd like to donate money to the organization, please click here.
So come drink up and do good on December 10. I look forward to seeing you there!

Ooo...wish I could be there - what a great cause!. It's also my birthday & that would be a really fun way to celebrate!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful. I will def donate. Every child should have a few boys of his own.
ReplyDeleteJust wondering if you are still looking for an intern. I know somebody who is interested.
Okay , that should be books of his own, not boys. Oops. Sticky fingers.
ReplyDeleteCool! Love the new place. :-)
ReplyDeleteHOW COINCIDENTIAL! Its my birthday too and Im turning 18 and well, it would be the perfect way to celebrate it, if only I were in NYC this December..
ReplyDeletedarn, If only the world were a MUCH smaller place :( Anyway, I hope there's a post telling us how it went :)
Im sorry I just realized, that should've been 'coincidentAl'..KNEW something didnt sound right *sheepish grin*
ReplyDeleteNothing to do with drinks, but- You're reading Alannah! I swear, that book is what made me want to tell stories of my own.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous -- yes! We have two great interns now, but we'd love more.
ReplyDeleteShould the books (or other items) be wrapped?
ReplyDeleteHmm -- I would say no, no wrapping, so the Society can be sure to give the right books to the right age level.
