Dear CCBC-Net Community,
We've been thinking of ways to make CCBC-Net more relevant and substantial in a world that has changed significantly in terms of the ways we communicate around books. When the CCBC-Net listserv began eighteen years ago, in 1995, there were no blogs or Twitter. No Facebook or other social media. Even listservs were relatively new.
We've decided to try something new for 2014. Well, new and old. We want to reaffirmCCBC-Net as a place for meaningful discussion on issues related to children's and young adult literature, focusing on current trends and substantial topics.But we also want to make book discussion, which has always been a core element of what we do at the CCBC, both formally and informally, a regular part of CCBC-Net.To that end, we have decided to try pairing a discussion topic the first part of each month with discussion of specific books that connect to that topic in the second part of the month. (We will continue to keep the early days of each month an open announcement period.)
We'd like the discussion in January to focus on your thoughts and ideas relating to this.What are issues you wish you could explore deeply though constructive exchange?Are there books that exemplify questions you have or things you've noticed?
We have outlined discussion topics for the first half of 2014 after January as follows. Books will be announced two months in advance of the discussion (so books for February and March are listed):
*January: Share Your Thoughts on Topics and Trends for Future CCBC-Net Discussions* (Discussion book ideas welcome, too!)
*February: **Multicultural Literature Beyond the Numbers*
Discussion Books: *
/If I Ever Get Out of Here by Eric Gansworth/(Arthur A. Levine Books / Scholastic, 2013)
/How I Became a Ghost://A Choctaw Trail of Tears Story /by Tim Tingle
(Roadrunner Press, 2013)
***We will be incorporating multicultural literature into discussions throughout the year
*March:**Back to /Forever /and Beyond: Looking at Sex in Young Adult Literature *
**Discussion Books:
/The Summer Prince/by Alaya Dawn Johnson (Arthur A. Levine Books / Scholastic Inc., 2013)
/The F* It List/byJulie Halpern (Feiwel and Friends, 2013)
* April: ****Trends in Poetry*
*May:****GLBTQ: Expanding Body of Literature for Teens but Where are the Books for Children?*
**
*June:** Non-Fiction: Will Common Core Make a Difference in Trade Publishing?*
On behalf of all of us at the CCBC, I wish you a great start to the new year!
