There will be several special outreach events taking place in the CCBC during the winter and spring. Others will be offered via distance education or off?mpus. Here is a listing of eleven such opportunities between now and March 9, 2002.
A) "Outstanding and Award-Winning New Books for Preschoolers," an ETN: Wednesday, January 30, 2002, 4:00 - 5:50 pm. Leaders: Kathleen T. Horning, Ginny Moore Kruse, and Megan Schliesman.
Preschoolers living in a language-rich environment are more likely to read sooner and even better than young children who do not have this opportunity. This session offers a terrific opportunity to concentrate on excellent new books that can help provide such an environment. The newly published books for the youngest to be discussed by will include board books for babies and toddlers, concept books, first picture stories, and first read-alouds. Chosen from the American Library Association book awards and distinctions announced nationally on Jan. 21, the books reviewed will include the preschool books named by the Year 2002 Randolph Caldecott and Coretta Scott King Awards Committees and the Notable Children's Books Committee. Books selected by the 2002 CCBC Charlotte Zolotow Award Committee also will be discussed. Selections from the new, unpublished CCBC CHOICES 2002 will be featured if time permits. This popular course is completely new every winter. Participants receive lists of all books discussed. Register by January 23 to get materials before the session begins. For information about sites or to register, please contact Linda Mundt: LEMundt at facstaff.wisc.edu SLIS Continuing Education Services, 4282 Helen C. White Hall, 600 N. Park St., Madison, WI 53706; 608&3D52.
B) "Award-Winning Books 2002 for Elementary and Secondary Students," a distance education event: Monday, February 4, 2002, 3:45 - 5:00 pm.

Horning and Megan Schliesman via live interactive video to hear about all the latest award-winning books in the field of children's and young adult literature, including the Newbery and Caldecott Medal winners which will be announced in New Orleans on Monday, January 21.

In addition to learning the titles of the winning books, Katy and Megan will explain each award, and participants will see the books via video. This opportunity is offered to participants at eight sites throughout Wisconsin through the Four Lakes Distance Education Network; it will originate from the Pyle Center on the UW-Madison campus.
