Better World Books + NCFL @Lilith

Posted by Abbey on 07.19.2010 at 10:18 am

At the Lilith Fair concert in L.A. I had an opportunity to chat with Emily Kirkpatrick of the National Center for Family Literacy about books, music, literacy and learning.

I asked her why are books and music so linked together for people and she had this to say:

“Passion – I think that’s the most important thing. People become avid readers because there’s a subject that they’re passionate about…and its similar with becoming a musician or enjoying music as a form of expression. It’s something that taps into your passion.”

Better World Books + Room to Read @ Lilith

The Lilith tour recently stopped in San Francisco for a great concert. What do you know! One of our non-profit literacy partners, Room to Read, is based in San Fran. I had a chance to sit down on camera for a chat with Sonia Torres from Room to Read right in the i4c Campaign tent. (Please pardon the background noise, our tent was *packed*)

Lilith B Stage & BWB Stage

Posted by Abbey on 07.08.2010 at 12:00 am

A lot of Lilith happens on the B & C Stages in the Village where our booth is set up. Here are a few clips of some fun B Stage acts – just a couple minutes – interspersed with video and photos of the concert grounds and activity around our booth.

…yes, she really did sing that at the end of the song (see video).

p.s. You can follow me on Twitter at @BWBAbbey for more Lilith, or visit http://www.betterworldbooks.com/lilith for an overview of what’s going on.
