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.

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.

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.
