  • 1.  LLX2024/CSKBART EB and CSKBART/EMIERT Membership "greet and eat" - informal meet up

    Posted Dec 05, 2023 01:04 PM

    Traveling to Baltimore for LLX2024?

    The Coretta Scott King Book Awards Round Table (CSKBART) would love to "put a face to the names" of CSKBART/EMIERT members! There is time built into the LLX2024 schedule for a Refreshment Break from 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm EST in the Baltimore Convention Center, LLX Marketplace, Level 100. This is a time to gather informally just to touch base and see each other face-to-face.  How about those of us (EB and CSKBART/EMIERT members) who will be in attendance at LLX2024, take advantage of this time to just "say hello" and "I'm glad to be in 'service' with you"? 

    As we get closer to LLX2024 (January 19-22, 2024), stay tuned for additional details!    

    Stay healthy, rejoice, and be glad.
