January BBL: #WeNeedDiverseBooks

You’ve seen the hashtag. You’ve probably used the hashtag. And I’m sure you’ve read and heard the word “diversity” in more industry news and meetings than you can count. But what you’ve probably asked yourself more than once is, “What real changes has this movement put into place?” This event will seek to answer that question. You’ll hear from authors who have been involved in the movement since it’s inception, and from industry professionals who are making diversity and diverse books a priority in every aspect of the business.

We all agree that we need diverse books. Now you’ll be able to see what a movement that started as hashtag has made happen.

Panelists include:

• Hannah Ehrlich, Director of Marketing & Publicity, LEE & LOW BOOKS, INC.
• Michelle Leo, VP, Director of Education & Library Marketing, Simon and Schuster

Tuesday, January 19^th, 12:15 PM at Random House, 1745 Broadway (between 55^th and 56^th streets), Dr. Seuss Room (1400i). RSVP here.
