The Ridgefield Park Public Library recently welcomed Junot Diaz at their building to read from The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao and discuss his work with a private audience, including his family who lives in the area!  Click here for some pictures of Junot Diaz in Ridgefield Park.

One Book New Jersey presented a poster session at the 2009 Annual NJLA Conference.

And we got to hang out with Susan Beth Pfeffer.  In addition to being the teen selection for OBNJ this year, Life as We Knew It was selected by the teens of NJ as the winner of the Garden State Teen Book Award (Grade 6-8 category).  Congratulations to Ms. Pfeffer and LAWKI!  (Posing with Ms. Pfeffer is Kate Vasilik, 2009 Chair of OBNJ.)
