BooksNJ 2009 - a great success!!

Hope you made it to BooksNJ2009 at the Paramus Library last Sunday. The event, sponsored by BCCLS, and the Paramus Public Library brought authors and about a thousand readers together. The festival, originally planned as a celebration of the 30th anniversary of BCCLS, grew into an extravaganza after 93 authors, most of them current or former New Jersey residents, signed up to participate. BooksNJ2009 also advocated for the support of libraries and generated a lot of public support and a good press coverage. Click to read the article in the Record. What a great celebration of books, authors and libraries!
