Publishers Weekly 'Harriet the Spy' Park Handout as a Literary Landark by Natasha Gilmore

http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/childrens/childrens-book-news/articl...

On Sunday, December 7, after more than a year and a half of planning, the Empire State Center for the Book recognized Carl Schurz Park as a Literary Landmark for its role in Louise Fitzhugh’s middle-grade classic Harriet the Spy, which will celebrate its 50th year in print in 2015.

The dedication of Carl Schurz Park marks the 14th designation of a literary landmark in the state, and the second in the Upper East Side this year, following the recognition of the Yorkville Community School on East 88th Street in May, near the site of “the house on 88th street,” from the book of the same name by Bernard Waber, in which readers were introduced to Lyle the Crocodile.
