A. Immedium at ALA in San Diego, CA
---
Immedium loves librarians! The American Library Association (ALA) holds their annual conference at the San Diego Convention Center (CA). Exhibition hours are Friday night (June 28) to Monday afternoon (July 1).
Visit Immedium's booth at the world's largest library event! We're glad to return to ALA and see Trevor Noah's opening address.
We'll share our storybooks at Table #126 in Artist's Alley (in the leftmost Aisle 100). Plus we'll donate an original artwork for the ALA Silent Auction. See you in sunny San Diego!
B. Chess in San Francisco
---
We present our storybook The Discovery of Chess at the San Francisco Public Library on Saturday, June 8th at 11 am.
"To Understand The Future Of AI, Look At What Happened To Chess: ...chess is far more popular than ever before. It's thriving in the age of machines with top players emerging from countries that didn't even have wide interest in chess back then."
- Forbes, March 2024
We look forward to sharing the history of the world's most popular game with the chess club at the West Portal branch.
C. San Francisco Night Market
---
On the afternoon of 6/8, we'll table at the San Francisco night market in the Central Richmond District.
Visit Clement Street between 22nd - 25th Avenue from 4-8 pm.
This family-friendly event features diverse small local businesses. Enjoy arts and crafts, games, performances, and food. Our children's books appeal to the Bay Area community and visitors alike.

Billie the Unicorn
by Brianne Drouhard
"The audience who will enjoy it most loves Brianna's artwork, which is gorgeous throughout, and readers who can appreciate the subtext. At the end of the story, Billie is happiest when creating for herself. Aren't we all?"

Space Cadet Topo
by DGPH
"Designer toy collectors will recall seeing Topo in vinyl form…Now, adults, kids, grandparents, animals...they'll all enjoy reading (or hearing) about the Intergalactic Mole. The sci-fi tale features 36 pages of indelible entertainment, with brilliant artwork and an enjoyable story."
