There is only one place for book lovers to be on the Sunday morning of ALA’s Annual Conference: at the Literary Tastes Breakfast.

This conference tradition is hosted by RUSA’s Collection Development and Evaluation Section (CODES), the home of collection development and readers advisory within ALA. The event celebrates the best books of the year by bringing librarians together with award-winning authors from The Notable Books List of fiction, non-fiction and poetry, The Reading List for genre literature and the Sophie Brody Medal for outstanding Jewish literature. Authors read from their work, ruminate on writing and sign books while attendees enjoy a scrumptious breakfast.

Mark your calendar for Sunday, July 12, 8:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. We’ll announce the exact event location on this blog later in the spring.

This is a ticketed event–you can purchase tickets when you register for Annual, add tickets to your Annual registration, or purchase tickets for this event only. Check out our blog entry on “registration how-tos” for more information.
