Love talking about books? Join us for the Black Eyed Susan Tapestry (BEST) workshop, a celebration of children and teen titles. Learn about the Black Eyed Susan Award and participate in a full day of small group discussions of the 2018 nominees. An award winning children’s author, Lisa Graff, will be speaking and sharing some of her great titles and characters. As an added feature, Barb Langridge of A Book and a Hug and Paula Willey of Baltimore County Public Library will share exceptional juvenile books from 2018. You will discover titles that you love and loathe, and even a few that will surprise you. All participants must read titles in 3 of the 6 book groups. A buffet lunch will be offered.

During the registration process you will be asked to indicate which groups you have chosen.
