2015 Sales: A Year in Review
Panelists Suzanna Hermans, co-owner of Oblong Books & Music; Nikki Mutch, district sales manager at Scholastic; and Allie Bruce, children’s librarian at the Bank Street College of Education, shared their insight on what today’s kids are reading and what makes a standout campaign. Highlights from 2015 included the continuing rise of graphic novels for young readers and the We Need Diverse Books movement.
