Thank you to all books and librarians that helped make this weekend very special.

We published Saturday at Glostrup Kulturfest and at Dokk1 in Aarhus, Denmark.

At the same time we were on loan at Bealtaine Festival in Dublin and then our books from Human Library NYC were in play at Pier 57.

Sunday we had a segment on CBS Sunday Morning followed by a public event with books from Human Library - Fort Wayne publishing at Allen County Public Library.

Finally we closed Sunday with a large public online event with readers joining from around the world.

Here are some great snaps that Anita secured for us from the event in New York.
