In partnership with Black Docents Collective and Literacy Nation, we welcome all to attend our daylong Juneteenth celebration with Workshops, Discussions, and Presentations on Saturday, June 21 from 10 AM to 4 PM. Authors, illustrators, editors, publishers and book enthusiasts will have opportunities to network, see new works and share skills and projects. Free registration is encouraged but not required via Eventbrite.
