Books, authors, young people, parents, workshops, presentations, activities--what isn't there for librarians and educators to love about the Rochester Children's Book Festival? What a boost to morale to see so many book lovers in one place, giving verification to our day-to-day literacy efforts!
The Festival has grown from a reasonably small event housed at local libraries to a large, all-day happening at Monroe Community College. Upon entering the building, you immediately feel the energy filling the rooms and spilling out into the halls. Cheerful volunteers, are at the door to greet and direct you. Immediately before you is an Activity Room where youngsters of all ages are eagerly creating works of art.
Upstairs is the main part of the Festival--books and authors! In the main room you'll find tables and tables of authors with their books, just waiting for you to come by, chat, and perhaps purchase a book and have it signed. Imagine walking up to Newbery and Caldecott winners and shooting the breeze with them! Or reacquaint yourself with those New York authors who have visited your school or library, finding out what they've been working on since you last saw them. Share successes you have had with their books in your classroom or library. Listen in to conversations between authors as they sit together. Take time to meet some of the newer, less known authors and examine their works; who knows what treasure you may discover.
Tear yourself away from the hustle and bustle of the mall to take advantage of the workshops, presentations and readings offered all day long. Hear a newly published author describe what's behind her writing; learn how illustrators hone their craft, trying new techniques and technologies; enjoy a panel addressing writing for young adults; relax as you're read to by an author or volunteer reader; try your hand at cartooning, guided by a published illustrator. Take notes, for nothing brings a book alive more to youngsters than sharing of insights you garner in these sessions.
Is it tough to "give up" a Saturday? Sure, but the benefits reaped far outweigh the cost. There is some craziness to the day--crowds, lines at times, hurrying to catch a presentation--but there are also moments to reflect on good books and their impact on our lives. Enjoy the activity of the mall, for it's mostly youngsters excited by meeting authors, often telling them why their book is a favorite. Greet students and their parents and inquire about what they've enjoyed at the Festival. Chat with colleagues you run into and exchange titles and book ideas. If you're like me, you'll arrive home tired but energized, bubbling over with renewed excitement about the wonderful world of books--thanks to the Rochester Children's Book Festival!
