We have a few announcements of our own from CCBC-land:

1) Author James St James will be in Madison the first week in April 2011 to deliver a public lecture about his young adult novel, "Freak Show," which is the UW-Madison School of Education's Common Read for the academic year. You can keep updated with details concerning his upcoming visit and find out more about the book discussions and panel discussions connected to the book on the Common Read website at:

2) You can see photos from Susan Patron's amazing Charlotte Zolotow Lecture from last month on the CCBC's Facebook page:

We are also pleased to announce that Gene Luen Yang, author of "American Born Chinese," will deliver the 2011 Zolotow Lecture on Oct 5, 2011.

3) You can also now follow the CCBC on Twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/CCBCwisc

4) We are once again offering weekly podcasts from the CCBC, called "Shelf Stories," where you can hear more about each week's Book of the Week, a bit about trends in publishing, and a connection of the current book to books we've admired in the past. The direct link for the podcasts is http://www.education.wisc.edu/ccbc/podcasts/default.asp

Cheers, KT
