ANCA, the Arne Nixon Center Advocates, invites everyone to a tenth anniversary celebration for the Arne Nixon Center for the Study of Children's Literature at California State University, Fresno. The event will be held on Friday, December 7, at 5:30 p.m. on the fourth floor of the Henry Madden Library on the Fresno State campus.

 

Following a gala reception, ANCA President Denise Sciandra will chair the festivities, offering special memories of Arne Nixon. Guests of honor will include university President John Welty and the Center's Governing Committee: Library Dean Peter McDonald; Dr. Maurice Eash of Boston, a lifelong friend of Arne Nixon; and Michael Cart, the well-known author, librarian, columnist, and past president of the Friends of Freddy (the Pig). As the United States' leading expert on young adult literature, Michael Cart will speak on "Teens and the Future of Reading," based on his recent cover story in American Libraries magazine.
