Wednesday evening , several members of the WNBA-NYC met up at the New York Public Library to take a trip through the history of children’s literature. From picture book classics, down Alice’s rabbit hole, through the Secret Garden, the Harlem Renaissance, and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, we were treated to bright, colorful, and at times interactive displays that featured rare copies of books by Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Brothers Grimm, and Hans Christen Andersen. Enjoy the pictures of our members and a slideshow of some of the books on display.
Be sure to visit The ABC of It: Why Children’s Books Matter exhibit, taking place now thru March 2014 at the NYPL Schwarzmann Building (5th Ave. and 42nd St.).
Stop by our Facebook page to enjoy more than 150 pictures of the exhibit from members Heather Allen and Liberty Schauf.
