ICC Librarian Sara Quiroz Takes Over Book Riot Live

Written by Sara Quiroz
ICC Librarian

This weekend I have the great honor of participating in one of my favorite events presented by one of my favorite websites. Your humble librarian will be at Book Riot Live, the annual conference presented by the reading renegades over at Book Riot. My space here in ICC has been called the heart of the school a peaceful hideout and an aquarium, I am so thrilled to have the opportunity to share that with the outside world and welcome them into this special space we have built. While the focus is not culinary, I know many of my library regulars love books outside the culinary world and I’m sure it will be of interest to many.

Here are a few highlights below. For the full schedule, check here: http://bookriotlive.com

On Friday, Nov 10th Sommelier and Author Diane McMartin will be hosting an event called Books & Booze during which she will offer wine pairings for various books followed by readings by the authors.  This event will take place at the Strand at 7pm. Click here to join

On Saturday Nov 11th, I’ll be hosting a meet up in the commons at 11:30am. Scrumptious Prose is for cookbook collectors and fans of food writing. http://bookriotlive.com/bird-plane-commons-schedule/

For fans of our How to Write a Cookbook series, also on Saturday from 1:15 to 2:05pm will be Farm to Table: How a Book Gets Made during which a panel of experts from the field will discuss every step of the process. Hear from small press, packaging, editing and marketing professionals!  http://bookriotlive.com/sessions/farm-table-book-gets-made/

To hear more about me and what I do here come see me speak on the panel Libraries, Beyond the Books on Sunday at noon. I will be speaking on a panel with two other librarians about how libraries are changing and modernizing. http://bookriotlive.com/sessions/libraries-beyond-books/

These and a plethora of fantastic programming will all be taking place over this weekend. I attended as a visitor last year and had a really great time. I am thrilled I was invited to participate this year. I would love to see some friendly ICC faces in the crowd and Book Riot has generously given me an ICC discount code of “cookthebooks” use it to save $20 off admission.

 

2 Days Away!
