Join Behind the Book on Saturday, December 1st, at the Greenwich Village Barnes & Noble, 396 Avenue of the Americas at 8th Street, for an all-day Book Fair, where you can help promote book reading for New York City's disadvantaged kids while you do some holiday shopping.

Barnes & Noble is giving Behind the Book a percentage of all book sales made that day when the purchaser presents the attached voucher or mentions Behind the Book to the cashier.

Throughout the day, there will be readings for all age groups by today's popular writers, including Stephanie Calmenson, Myla Goldberg, Rachel Vail, Adriana Trigiani, Carolyn Mackler, Cathrine Kellison, and other notable authors.

Behind the Book will also be offering free gift wrapping with any purchase, courtesy of Behind the Book students from DeWitt Clinton High School.

We will be there from 10am until 10pm and hope to see you there -- our main table will be on the second floor!
