Geneva Public Library and Geneva Reads will partner on May 1 to celebrate the 99th annual Children's Book Week. The fun begins at 6:30 p.m. at the library, where there will be ice cream, face painting, crafts and a special presentation by Rich Unkel of Rochester, the author of The Kenny Cartwright Chronicles, which was published last year by Saguaro Books.
National Children's Book Week is part of the longest-running national celebration of books for young people and the joy of reading. More than 750 schools, libraries, and bookstores across the country will be hosting activities between April 30 and May 6.
From April 16 to May 6 in the children's computer area on the ground floor of the library, children and teens will also have the chance to vote for the winners of the Children's and Teen Choice Book Awards. In its 11th year, the contest is the only national book award voted on solely by kids and teens.
