Trailer: The Library of the Early Mind

I have blogged about Library of the Early Mind, a feature-length documentary film about children’s literature directed by Edward J. Delaney and produced by Edward J. Delaney and Steven Withrow, several times (learn more about the film here). Co-producer Steven Withrow has posted enticing tidbits of video from interviews on the production blog since last June; all of which are on the who's-who list of best children's authors, illustrators, editors and publishers.

The first screening of Library of the Early Mind will be held on October 19 from 5:30 - 8:00 pm. at Harvard, free and open to the public. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with the filmmakers and featured authors and is being offered by the Askwith Education Forum which is part of  the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

But, for those of us who are not able to attend, the first trailer for the film has also been released and can be found here. It's just enough to leave you salivating for more! However, there seems to be the hint of a promise of more trailers to come, so that will have to do for now.
