About this Event
Award presentation to bestselling author Judy Blume, followed by reading, Q & A, and book signing. FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!
JUDY BLUME’s twenty-five books for young readers and her four widely read novels for adults have been published in forty languages. Among her many honors, she has been named a Literary Legend by the Library of Congress, received the National Book Critics Circle Lifetime Achievement Award, and was named one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People of the Year in 2023. For more than forty years, she has been a champion of intellectual freedom, working to support teachers and librarians in their fight to keep challenged books on their shelves. A Peabody Award winning documentary, Judy Blume Forever, and a major motion picture based on her iconic novel Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, are now streaming. In 2016, Blume and her husband founded an independent, nonprofit bookstore, Books & Books, in their hometown of Key West.
