Event Description:  (attendance open to the public)   BCBW is “a global celebration of Black children and the people who ensure Black children are represented in books and other children’s media.”. This event is a BCBW Book Fair that caters to children—pre-K to 12th grade—and is designed to raise awareness about the lack of representation of Black characters in children's literature and media. We hope the BCBW Book Fair will inspire communities to continue diversifying our classroom and home libraries. All ages welcome.
