Eighteenth Annual Children's Book Fest Scheduled for March 8 and 9, 2005
Attention 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 2005, a two day conference held at the Rhinelander Holiday Inn (Rhinelander, Wisconsin) on March 8 and 9.
Kathleen T. Horning, Megan Schliesman and Merri V. Lindgren from the Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC) in Madison, Wisconsin will discuss books for children and young adults at an evening presentation on Tuesday, March 8, as well as at a day presentation on Wednesday, March 9. Both sessions will include a CCBC exhibit of the best 2004 books for young readers.
Most folks choose to attend one session or the other, but you certainly won't be turned away if you decide to stay overnight and come to both. In addition to the Holiday Inn Express itself, a Super 8 and AmericInn are also close by.
Registration forms for Children's Book Fest may be requested from kwendt at wvls.lib.wi.us or send a fax or snail mail request to the attention of Kris Adams Wendt using the contact information below. If using snail mail, a self addressed stamped envelope is appreciated.
All registrations must be received no later than March 4. Payment of $6.00 per person must accompany each registration blank. No purchase orders, please.
Katy, Megan and Merri are the co-authors of CCBC CHOICES, an annual recommended best books list. Children's Book Fest participants will receive a copy of the 100-page booklet as part of their registration package, as well as other booklists. The registration fee also covers the cost of refreshments and a CCBC honorarium. PLEASE NOTE: MEALS ARE ON YOUR OWN.
The Children's Book Fest evening presentation on March 8 includes time from 4:00 to 6:30 p.m. to browse through the CCBC Book Exhibit followed by the main presentation 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.
The Children's Book Fest day presentation begins on March 9 with registration and morning refreshments at 8:30 a.m. followed by a legislative update and other announcements at 9:30 a.m. At 10:00 a.m., the speakers will discuss current trends in children's literature and present slides featuring the best books of 2004. 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 on their own.
Plans include an opportunity on both March 8 and 9 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."
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 since 1987. Additional assistance is received from the Indianhead Federated Library System, Northern Waters Library Service and Wisconsin Valley Library Service, as well as business sponsors Brown Street Books, M&I Bank, Ripco Credit Union, and Wisconsin Public 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 that rises out of the mists annually like "Brigadoon" and has virtually no clerical support whatsoever. We are unfortunately not equipped to provide registration confirmations or verification of attendance for300 registrants. Cancelled checks serve as receipts. However, if your school district or library board absolutely doesn't trust you were there without returning something in writing, Kris will cheerfully sign any wording to that effect, providing you bring it with you in person on the day of the conference! Although CEU status was investigated several years ago, it was ascertained that only the CCBC staff presentation segment would actually qualify; book browsing and selection does not.
Please pardon duplicate postings.
