For your customers and patrons, NYCC sponsors a “Kids Day” on
Sunday, October 14, the final day of the show. Children and tweens under 12
will receive free passes and are welcome to attend the show and literary
programs at no cost on Sunday. NYCC will support this in your library with
posters, bookmarks and pins. If you'd like to make Kids Day available through
your library please email Samantha Grimaldi at
[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>. She will be happy to
send you all the information and material to share this free event with your
community.
We hope to see you in New York at our booth, during the
Professional Day and throughout NYCC.
Thanks,
