Thirteenth Annual Children's Book Fest Scheduled for March 14 and 15, 2000
Attention Northern Wisconsin, Minnesota and Upper Michigan librarians, teachers, parents, reading specialists and members of the general public who are interested in learning about the best books for young people! You are invited to attend Children's Book Fest 2000, a two day conference held at the Rhinelander Holiday Inn
(Rhinelander, Wisconsin) on March 14 and 15.
Ginny Moore Kruse and Kathleen T. Horning from the nationally acclaimed Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC) in Madison, Wisconsin will discuss books for children and young adults at an evening presentation on Tuesday, March 14, as well as at a day presentation on Wednesday, March 15. Both sessions will include a CCBC exhibit of the best 1999 books for young readers. Most folks choose to attend one session or the other, but you won't be turned away if you decide to stay overnight and come to both. Please note that separate registration (sent to two separate places) is required for the evening and day sessions.
Ginny and Katy, along with Megan Schliesman are the co-authors of CCBC CHOICES, an annual recommended best books list. Children's Book Fest participants will receive a free copy of the 100-page booklet as part of their registration package.
Complete registration information about Children's Book Fest is contained on the attachments to this message. If you cannot open the attachments, please send a SASE request to the attention of Kris Adams Wendt at the address below. All registrations must be received no later than March 10. Payment must accompany each registration blank. No purchase orders, please.
The Children's Book Fest evening presentation on March 14 includes time from 4:00 to 6:30 p.m. to browse through the CCBC Book Exhibit. An informal light supper buffet will be available between 5:00 and 6:30 p.m. followed by the main presentation by Kruse and Horning from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.. Additional time to examine the CCBC Book Exhibit and talk with the speakers is scheduled from 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. Parents and educators may attend just the evening presentation for $6.00 or make a reservation that includes the light supper buffet for $12.00. Prices include CCBC CHOICES, other booklists and a CCBC honorarium.
The Children's Book Fest day presentation begins on March 15 with registration and morning refreshments at 9:00 a.m. At 10:00 a.m., the two speakers will discuss current trends in children's literature and present slides featuring the best books of 1999. The registration fee of $12.00 for the day includes morning refreshments, a buffet luncheon, CCBC CHOICES, other booklists and a CCBC honorarium. Participants will have the opportunity to examine the CCBC Book Exhibit during the first hour of the day and again in the afternoon following lunch.
Plans include an opportunity on both March 14 and 15 for individuals to purchase award-winning books highlighted by the speakers through an independent arrangement with Brown Street Books of Rhinelander. However, as there is no available space for additional vendors or exhibits all inquiries along these lines will be answered with a polite, but firm "no thank you."
Telephone inquiries for the Wednesday presentation may be made to Kris the Rhinelander District Library Children's Dept. phone and email below. More information about the Tuesday presentation is available from Headwaters Reading Council co-president Kelly Pease at 365?39 (work) or 36231 (home) or peasekel at rhinelander.k12.19.us
This is the thirteenth year that Headwaters Reading Council, the School District of Rhinelander and the Rhinelander District Library have invited the Cooperative Children's Book Center staff to bring the newest and best books for young people to Northern Wisconsin. Additional assistance is received from the Indianhead Federated Library System, Northern Waters Library Service and Wisconsin Valley Library Service.
A GOOD HUMORED DISCLAIMER: Children's Book Fest is organized and administered on a purely voluntary basis by a dedicated coalition of children's book lovers which rises out of the mists annually like "Brigadoon" and has virtually no clerical support . Mass mailings of registration information are sent out as an in-kind contribution by the three co-sponsoring public library systems mentioned above to their member libraries only. No other mass mailing lists are maintained and used from one year to the next in order to keep registration costs at an affordable level. We are likewise not equipped to provide registration confirmations or verification of attendance for the 300 plus registrants. Cancelled checks serve as receipts.
