WELCOME

WELCOME! For the last 17 years, about once a month, usually on a Thursday evening, a group of writers, illustrators, teachers and librarians meets in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles to discuss children's books. Usually we talk about one picture book and one middle grade or YA novel. After the meeting, Sandy Schuckett, a retired LAUSD librarian, summarizes our discussion. Here are her reports of our thoughts about the books we have read. We'd love to have your comments too!
Thanks to Nancy Hayashi for our wonderful title art! NOTE: We are changing to a new schedule. Our meetings will now be quarterly and during the afternoon. Our group has been meeting since 2007. It was organized under the auspices of the Children's Literature Council of Southern California (CLCSC).

Holiday Dinner Meeting

Holiday potluck of Book Chat Thursday
We had a feast at our Holiday Dinner meeting, where we dined on Chicken Marbella, tasty Ham and Beans, at least three terrific GREEN vegetable dishes, Sour Cream Cherry Pie, Pecan Pie, and candies and cookies. Thanks to all who brought these delicious and nutritious treats to our annual pot luck! We didn't discuss any specific books, but we DID talk about a lot of other things. It was a great evening.
