Dear Friend of Children's Literature:

Please join us for a very special event at the University of Maryland Visitor Center Auditorium (in the Turner Building) at 7:00 p.m. on April 28, 2000.

The College of Library and Information Services is launching a bi-annual lecture series devogted to scholarly issues associated with Children's Literature, which is an important area of specialization in the curriculum of the College of Library and Information Services (CLIS) at the University of Maryland.

Dr. Anne Scott MacLeod, long-time CLIS faculty member and widely recognized Children's Literature scholar, will present the initial lecture.

Please join us at this very special free event.

It is our intention to build this lecture into an important event for the children's literature community. To this end, we have established an endowment fund, named in honor of Dr. MacLeod, to provide for its support.

Contributions can be sent to the Anne MacLeod Children's Literature Endowment c/o Office of the Dean, College of Library and Information Services, 4105 Hornbake South, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742. Checks should be made out to the University of Maryland Foundation. For more information, contact Emmett Jordan at (301) 405t59.
