First I want to say how pleased Megan, Katy and I are to have had the opportunity to meet some of you in person during the American Library Association annual conference in New Orleans last week. Thanks for introducing yourselves! Invariably CCBC-Net associates who introduced themselves to us also remarked, "I'm just a lurker." That always causes me to comment that no one is a "lurker." Do you think of yourselves as "lurkers" if you read a book but don't discuss it anyone else? No, you have already responded in your mind and maybe also with your emotions to the experience of reading or seeing that book. Just because you don't "step up to the mike," doesn't make you a lurker. Everyone participates in one way or another!
1) CCBC BOOK DISCUSSIONS: If you can make it to the CCBC facility, you are welcome to discuss new books for children and young adults at one or more of the monthly CCBC Book Discussions. The discussions are open to all adults interested in reading and discussing new books. Disucssions will be held in the Elizabeth Burr Room on the following dates: July 23, August 27, September 24, and October 22. The books on each discussion list are posted on the CCBC webpage section "What's New?" (www.education.wisc.edu/ccbc/). The CCBC has copies of the books to be used in the library or borrowed on an overnight basis. All discussions run between 3:30 and 5:30 p.m. (Central Time) These discussions are not programs; all who show up will participate in discussion the books they've seen or read. Although it isn't necessary to have seen or read all of the books on the discussion list, it is expected that participants will have read a minimum of two. Some participants stay only one hour, because the shorter books are discussed during the first hour. Metered parking is available under the building. No registration or fee. Just show up!
2) The annual workshop CHILDREN'S BOOKS TOO GOOD TO MISS will be held on the first four Thursdays in September between 6:00 and 8:00pm (CDT) in the Elizabeth Burr Room of the CCBC. This popular opportunity to examine and respond to outstanding new books for children and young adults will feature a variety of perspectives on excellence in book publishing, i.e. books given awards or included on "best of the year" lists for their art, outstanding writing, potential appeal to children, or handling of specific curriculum themes and topics. Ginny Moore Kruse is the instructor. Limited to the first 35 registrants. For registration details, contact Linda Mundt
(LEMundt at facstaff.wisc.edu).
3) Author Katherine Paterson will deliver the second annual Charlotte Zolotow Lecture on Thursday evening, October 7, at University Theatre in the Wisconsin Memorial Union on the UW-Madison campus. This annual lecture honors Charlotte Zolotow, a distinguished book editor for 38 years at the publishing house now called HarperCollins and the author of more than 65 picture books. Preceding the lecture, the 1999 Charlotte Zolotow Award for outstanding writing in a picture book will be presented that evening to Uri Shulevitz for his book "Snow"
(Farrar, 1998). These events are free and open to the public, and they begin at 8:00 p.m. (CDT). For details see the CCBC webpage
(www.education.wisc.edu/ccbc/).
4) POINTS OF VIEW, the IBBY Regional Children's and Young Adult Literature Conference, will be held on October 8-9 on the UW-Madison campus. This conference is co-sponsored by the United States Board on Books for Young People (USBBY) with the Cooperative Children's Book Center.

Visit the CCBC webpage (www.education.wisc.edu/ccbc/) for details about the conference and about the optional Day Trips scheduled on October 7.
5) BIOGRAPHY AND AUTOBIOGRAPHY FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS is the subject of a new CCBC Educational Telecommunications course to be held on two Thursdays, November 11 and 18, between 4:30 and 5:50 p.m.
(CST). Join Ginny Moore Kruse, Kathleen T.
