1) CCBC BOOK DISCUSSIONS: If you can come to the CCBC, we encourage you to attend one or more of the forthcoming CCBC Book Discussions scheduled on September 25, October 22 & November 19. These discussions are open to all adults interested in reading and talking with others about new books for children and young teenagers.
We discuss about a dozen new books each month. The discussions are held in the Elizabeth Burr Room. There is no registration fee or advance registration. Just show up! The books to be discussed are posted on the CCBC webpage
(http://www.education.wisc.edu/ccbc/up4disc.htm)
Copies of the books to be read are at the CCBC reference desk and may be used in the CCBC or borrowed from the CCBC on an overnight basis.
All monthly book discussions are scheduled between 3:30 - 5:30pm
(Central time) This is not a private book club, and the discussions are not programs. All who show up will participate in the discussion. Although it isn't necessary to have seen or read all of the books on the discussion list in advance, it's expected that participants will be familiar with a minimum of two. Some participants stay only one hour, because they are interested only in highly visual books or only in young adult books. Usually the highly visual books are discussed during the first hour, although during October they'll be discussed during the last hour.
If you need to use a car in order to come to the CCBC, you might want to know that metered parking is available underneath Helen C. White Hall on campus; bring lots of quarters! The city's Lake St. parking garage is a ten-minute walk from the CCBC. Of course it's always possible to walk, or use the bus to get to the CCBC.
2) The CCBC staff posts weekly book reviews of new books on the CCBC webpage. Look at the Book of the Week and former Book of the Week book reviews (http://www.education.wisc.edu/ccbc/review.htm)
3) Author Katherine Paterson will deliver the 1999 CHARLOTTE ZOLOTOW LECTURE, "The Invisible Child" on Thursday, October 7, 8:00pm (CDT) at the Wisconsin Union Theatre on the UW-Madison campus. This annual lecture honors Charlotte Zolotow, a distinguished editor for 38 years at HarperCollins Children's Books and 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 to Uri Shulevitz for "Snow" (Farrar, 1998). This event is free and open to the public. For "frequently asked questions" about the 1999 Charlotte Zolotow Lecture arrangements, visit the CCBC webpage
