Something Different Every DayApril 26, 2009 Why you should attend the SutherlandI swore to myself last year after attending the annual Zena Sutherland lecture at the Harold Washington Library that I would hound my fellow NSLS youth services people to go next year. And here it is next year already! Here’s why you should go: 1. Christopher Paul Curtis is the speaker this year. A great writer, an excellent speaker, talking about some of the books kids love the most–The Watsons Go to Birmingham, 1963; Bud, Not Buddy; Elijah of Buxton–don’t you immediately remember those characters, those voices? 2. The speaker is introduced by the inimitable Roger Sutton. 3. You’ll get a chance to network. 4. It’s at Harold Washington in a beautiful space, and it’s downtown Chicago at night, which is often magical. 5. The food at the reception afterward is fantastic, and it’s easy to get a chance to chat with the author. 6. It’s free! Just RSVP at 312-747-4780 or go online at www.chipublib.org/eventsprog/events/sutherland/sutherland.php 7. What, you want to know when it is? Fine. It is on Friday, May 1 at 7:30. You should go! posted by Susan at 4:30 pm | Comments (0) No Comments »RSS feed for comments on this post. TrackBack URI Leave a comment
