Caldecott Read-In is
Jan. 21
Help choose the local Caldecott winner and see how the
Toledo-Lucas County Public Library’s selection compares with
the actual Caldecott winner scheduled to be announced in late
January 2012 at the American
Library Association (ALA) mid-winter conference in Dallas.
This annual local Library event, Caldecott Read-In
is now in its 39th
year, and is designed for adults interested in book design and
stories for children. The Read-In is scheduled to begin at
9 a.m. on Saturday, January 21, 2012
in the Huntington Meeting Room at Main Library, 325 Michigan
St., in downtown Toledo.
And see the best in children’s picture books from 2011 and
compare favorites with other adults. The Caldecott Medal was
named in honor of nineteenth-century English illustrator
Randolph Caldecott. The ALA has awarded it annually since
1938 through its Association for Library Service to Children to
the artist of the most distinguished US-American picture book
for children.
A potluck lunch is scheduled. Participants are encouraged to
bring a salad or dessert to share, and your own table service.
Beverages will be provided. Complimentary underground parking –
enter off Adams Street.
