A GOOD HUMORED DISCLAIMER: Children's Book Fest is organized and administer ed on a purely voluntary basis by a dedicated coalition of children's book lovers. We are unfortunately not equipped to provide registration confirma tions or verification of attendance for registrants. Cancelled checks serv e as receipts. Although CEU status was investigated several years ago, i t was ascertained that only the CCBC staff presentation segment would actua lly qualify; book browsing and selection does not.
