"Literary Lights for Children" seeks to raise awareness of children's literature, promote literacy, honor children's authors, and raise money for the Boston Public Library's children's services and collections. Students selected from Boston area schools introduced and presented the awards to each of the honored authors. The honorees then discussed their writing careers and shared their love of books with the audience of over 400 children and adults. Tea refreshments are served.
