Have you developed and implemented a fabulous library program for kids
(infants through age 13) involving reading and the use of children's literature? Then why not get recognition for the work you've already done by applying for the 2003 ALSC Econoclad Literature Program Award. If you are an ALSC member and presented this program during 2002 at any public or school library, you are eligible to apply. The award is a $1000 grant to attend ALA's annual conference in Toronto, ON from June 19 %, 2003. A few of the previous award winning programs include a young adult storytelling drama troupe; a statewide virtual book discussion group involving authors and featuring a strong partnership with the media; and a writing club for kids. The sky is the limit on the kinds of great programs you've done this year focusing on literature and kids that are eligible for the award.

The application deadline is December 1, 2002. The form is available online at http://www.ala.org/alsc/econoclad03.pdf or you can call the ALSC office at 800 545$33 x 2163 to have one mailed to you. Mail five copies of the application to Marge Loch-Wouters, Menasha's Public Library, 440 First St, Menasha WI 54952. The winner will be notified in February.

Please feel free to forward this message to local and regional listservs you are on or to colleagues you think are deserving of this award. Committee members include Patricia Dollisch (GA); Jane Gardner Connor (SC); Jacquelyn Viol (MI), Anna Healy (IL) and Marge Loch-Wouters (WI). We are eager to read about your programs and award that grant!
