There's still time to sign up at the CCBC to participate in the 20001 Am?ricas Award Discussion to be held on Tuesday, March 6, from 5:10-9:10 p.m. in the Elizabeth Burr Room at the CCBC.
If you haven't begun to read the books yet, perhaps you can find time to come to the CCBC on Friday, Saturday or Monday to see and read the books on the short discussion list, or to borrow one or more of them from the CCBC for overnight reading.
This discussion gives participants the opportunity to read and talk about some of the outstanding Latino literature published for children and young adults in the United States in 2000. The discussion is open to any interested adult, including UW-Madison students, academic staff, & faculty; public and school librarians; teachers at all levels; and others.
The evening will involve a brief introduction to the Am?ricas Award by Award Coordinator Julie Kline who is the Outreach and Academic Program Coordinator, Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at UW-Milwaukee jkline at uwm.edu Julie's remarks will be followed by a discussion of each book. A straw ballot will be taken after the books have been discussed to determine the consensus of the group as to outstanding books in each of the two categories.
The discussion will be conducted by one of the CCBC librarians using CCBC Book Discussion Guidelines http://www.education.wisc.edu/ccbc/discguid.htm CCBC Librarian Kathleen Horning is chair of the 2001 Am?ricas Award jury.
It is expected that prior to attending the Am?ricas Award Book Discussion on March 6, all participants will read the books on the Reading List (see below). Copies of the books on this list are on reserve at the CCBC Reference Desk. Books may be read in the CCBC or borrowed on an overnight basis.
There is no charge for anyone registering for this discussion through the CCBC. Participants who sign up through their school district or library system, etc., in order to receive professional development credit might be charged by their own institution or agency.
