The Associates of the Boston Public Library is hosting the 15th annual Literary Lights for Children tea party on Sunday, September 29th in the beautiful Bates Reading Room of the Boston Public Library.
Meet Rick Riordan of the Percy Jackson series, Jeanne Birdsall of The Penderwicks series, Helen Frost and Kadir Nelson!
Literary Lights for Children seeks to raise awareness of children’s literature, promote literacy, honor children’s authors, and raise funds for the Boston Public Library’s Special Collections. Students selected from Boston area schools will introduce and present the awards to each of the honored authors. The honorees will then discuss their writing careers and share their love of books with the audience of 350 children and adults. Tea refreshments will be served. Immediately following the tea party, there will be a book signing session. Books will be available for sale, or children are welcome to bring their own books.
