Macmillan Library @ BEA 2013 (booth 1557)

It's May! The sun is out, the cherry blossoms are exploding, and BookExpo America is just a few short weeks away so it's time to take a look at all of our fantastic BEA events for librarians.

Thursday, May 30th

Don't miss Library Family Feud™ (10:00am, Javits Center Room 1E11) is a veritable battle of wits between a team of librarians and a team of authors who go at it Family Feud™ style. Hosted by AAP Library Committee Chair Chris Vaccari, Director of Library Marketing for Sterling Publishing Co. (a.k.a. Quizmaster Chris!).

Dine with us again at the AAP's BEA Librarians Author Lunch (12:15pm, Javits Center Room 1E14-1E15) with Louise Penny, author of the Chief Inspector Gamache novels. UPDATE: this event is SOLD OUT, but you can still get on the waiting list.
