Hi Everyone-- I'm posting the notice below on behalf of Betsy Bird from the New York Public Library about their upcoming Children's Literary Cafe program on Sat., Aug. 1. As always, it sounds fascinating and cutting-edge. Judy Freeman Children's Literature Consultant Reviewer for www.READKIDDOREAD.com Author of Books Kids Will Sit Still For 3 (Libraries Unlimited, 2006; www.LU.com) and Once Upon a Time: Using Storytelling, Creative Drama, and Reader's Theater with Children in Grades K-6 (2007) 65 North Sixth Avenue Highland Park, NJ 08904 732-572-5634 / BKWSSF@aol.com www.JudyReadsBooks.com CHILDREN'S LITERARY CAFE, 8-1-09 The Children’s Literary Café at the new Children’s Center at 42nd Street is pleased to announce our event on Saturday, August 1st at 2:00 p.m. The fan phenomenon. It’s about bringing your love of literature out into the open where you can celebrate it with a community of like-minded people. Since the advent of the internet, fans have never been able to meet and gather with more ease. On this panel, Melissa Anelli of The Leaky Cauldron (the most all-encompassing Harry Potter fan site) and Laura Byrne-Cristiano of the Twilight Lexicon will be present to discuss online communities and what it means to take fandom to another level. =0 A Webmistress Melissa Anelli is a freelance writer living in New York City who is smitten by all things Harry Potter. These days Melissa spends even more of her free time writing a book chronicling the Harry Potter fan phenomeon. She is the author of the New York Times Bestseller Harry, a History: The True Story of a Boy Wizard, His Fans, and Life Inside the Harry Potter Phenomenon. Laura Byrne-Cristiano is one of the co-owners of the Twilight Lexicon . Aside from running the arguably longest continually operating Twilight website on the Internet, Ms. Byrne-Cristiano used to be one of the moderators of the Werewolf Registry. 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.
