It was a BIG night for the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC), a division of the American Library Association. The 46th annual Arbuthnot Honor Lecture was delivered by Brian Selznick on Friday evening May 8 to a capacity crowd at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library in Washington, DC. This annual lecture celebrates May Hill Arbuthnot (1884–1969), distinguished writer, children's literature scholar, and editor of the "Dick and Jane" series. Selznick wowed the crowd with his talk entitled "Love Is a Dangerous Angel: Thoughts on Queerness and Family in Children's Books." The author/illustrator's depth of research, insightful interpretation of Arbuthnot's classic text Children and Books, and passionate defense of "funny, funny families" everywhere will go down in the annals of ALSC history as an address to remember. On view at the gala event was the exhibit, Building Wonder, Designing Dreams: The Bookmaking of Brian Selznick, curated by Wendy Lukehart. Special thanks to Sharon McQueen for sharing a slideshow of images from the evening. [portfolio_slideshow id=140432]
