One of the ways we'll use this blog is to share information on community events related to literature. If you attend an event, write about it on your blog and tell us about it in class!
On Thursday, September 6th there will be a "Jane Addams Children's Book Awards Celebration" at the East Lansing Hannah Community Center. Since the award is given for books that "engagingly and effectively invite children to think about peace, social justice, world community, and the equality of the sexes and all races", this event would be a great opportunity to start thinking about the role of awards in the world of children's literature.
For more information on the event, including links to information on the Jane Addams Award, check out the description on the Everybody Reads website.
