Annual BYU Christmas Booktalk will be Nov. 14 at Lee Library

This year’s Annual BYU Christmas Booktalk will be held Wednesday, Nov. 14, at 4 p.m. in the Harold B. Lee Library Auditorium at Brigham Young University.

Anita Charles, BYU Bookstore buyer of literature for children and young adults, will give an hour-long presentation focusing on beautiful and wonderful holiday books for children and young adults. Those in attendance will be able to gain a handle on the latest titles, hear short summaries of selected works and receive free copies of the newest books.

The event is free and open to the campus community and the public. The event is collaboration between the Lee Library's Farnsworth Juvenile Literature Library and the BYU Bookstore. 

The Annual Christmas Booktalk began with bookstore buyer Leon Archibald in the 1990s and has moved over the years to larger venues to accommodate a growing audience.
