THE BANK STREET CENTER FOR CHILDREN’S LITERATURE ANNOUNCES "INSIDE THE ABC OF IT"—A SERIES OF THREE PANEL DISCUSSIONS WITH LEONARD MARCUS AND SPECIAL GUESTS
This fall, the Bank Street College of Education will host three lively panel discussions moderated by Leonard Marcus, curator of "The ABC of It: Why Children’s Books Matter," the critically acclaimed exhibition currently on view at The New York Public Library (42nd Street at Fifth Avenue).
These one-hour programs, each featuring a panel of experts in conversation with the curator, will focus on key aspects of the wide-ranging landmark exhibition, and offer audience members an opportunity to ask questions about the show and discuss the lessons to be learned from it.
All three programs are free and open to the public, and will be held in the Tabas Auditorium of the Bank Street College of Education. A book signing will follow in the lobby immediately following each program.
Share your impressions of “The ABC of It” and be reminded why children’s books do matter by attending one or more of these stimulating events!
