Bill Konigsburg - YSS Luncheon Speaker!



As if you needed another reason to attend WLA in October,  2016 Stonewall Book Award-winner YA author Bill Konigsberg is our Wednesday October 26 YSS Luncheon speaker this year!  Not only does he seem to be a funny, smart and passionate about reaching out to LGBTQ youth (https://billkonigsberg.com/trevor-project-awareness-tour-with-bill-konigsberg/ ), but his books are legit (https://billkonigsberg.com/books/ ).

YSS has also planned a book discussion at the conference on Thursday Oct 27 from 7:30-8:15pm(followed by our YSS social!). SO reserve and read these books today!!
Talk About It!
Join us for a discussion of two books, The Porcupine of Truth and Openly Straight, by Bill Konigsburg, Wednesday's YSS luncheon speaker, at the Canal Street Café (1611 W Canal Street).  Feel free to join us having read one or both books, or if you just heard Bill’s talk and want to discuss what he had to say!  Sponsored by YSS and the CCBC. 

AND, check back here in October when we debut a sure-to-be-amazing exclusive YSS interview with Bill!
