Modern First Library — the program that BookPeople and I began last year to encourage the purchase of diverse new titles along with classic picture books — was featured this past Friday on KidLit TV, with children’s buyer Meghan Goel and me interviewed about the program by author, pal, and all-around dynamo Phil Bildner.
I’m super-proud of Modern First Library, and I truly hope that other authors/illustrators and booksellers will get inspired and try this approach in their own communities. If you’d help spread the word about this program, I’d be mighty grateful — thankful, you might say. And could there be a better week for that?
What a great post! Thanks for shouting out to KidLit TV! We love what you do and are looking forward to seeing your project grow! :)
Chris, this is a brilliant idea. I’m super supportive!
Awesome! Thank you for being inspiring!!!
Thank you all — I really appreciate your encouragement, and your help getting the word out!
