[OYAN] [PDX Area] BIPOC Book Fair Event for Kids & Teens on 12/23

[MAURER Jennifer L * SLO]

Hi Folks,

I just learned about an event happening on Saturday, and I thought some of you in the Portland area might be interested:

"The inaugural BIPOC Book Fair will be held Dec. 23 from 12 to 4 p.m. at Norse Hall (111 N.E. 11th Ave., Portland). The event offers books by BIPOC authors, of every genre, for early readers to 17-year-olds. Tickets are $5, and low-income families can request a fee waiver. Masks are required for all attendees. Tickets and more information available here<https://carlbrandon.org/bbf/>." All children and teens who attend can select one book of their choice for free. Several local authors will be in attendance, and there will be a few planned activities. Background details are in this article<https://www.theskanner.com/news/northwest/35428-bipoc-book-fair-highlights-diverse-authors-and-audiences> in The Skanner.

Cheers,
Jen
