[cid:image001.png_at_01CF0EC0.52F9B540] The Association of Children's Librarians of Northern California (ACL) will host their annual Institute at the San Francisco Main Public Library on Friday, March 14, 2014, 9 am to 4:30 pm.

Your Library is the Common Core: CCSS, STEM/STEAM, and How Libraries Fit in With the New Push Toward Non-fiction will focus on the new emphasis on more books of information in the classroom, with special attention paid to how school and public librarians can assist their local schools in the adoption of the new Common Core State Standards (CCSS). It will be an informative and fun day with speakers in the morning, including celebrated author Marc Aronson, and hands-on STEM/STEAM activities in the afternoon. An informal reception sponsored by National Geographic will be held immediately following the Institute, and copies of Marc Aronson and Adrienne Mayor's new book The Griffin and the Dinosaur: How Adrienne Mayor Discovered a Fascinating Link Between Myth and Science<http://www.amazon.com/Griffin-Dinosaur-Adrienne-Discovered-Fascinating/dp/1426311087/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1388707629&sr=1-1&keywords=aronson+griffin> (National Geographic Children's Books, 2014) will be raffled.

Registration information now available at http://bayviews.org/institute.html

The Association of Children's Librarians of Northern California (ACL) was founded in the 1930s by a group of public and school librarians interested in library work with children and young adults. Its purpose is to strengthen and maintain work with youth in the libraries of Northern and Central California according to the highest standards of professional librarianship. Members meet monthly to review books for young people and discuss related issues. ACL reviews are published in BayViews, a journal of book reviews and opinions with a western perspective.
