Children's Book Week: May 13 - 19, 2013
We will be having give aways for the children and drawings for special prizes! So, come into the library this week and check us out!
History:
Children's Book Week originated in the belief that children's books and literacy are life-changers. In 1913, Franklin K. Matthiews, the librarian of the Boy Scouts of America, began touring the country to promote higher standards in children's books. He proposed creating a Children's Book Week, which would be supported by all interested groups: publishers, booksellers, and librarians.
Mathiews enlisted two important allies: Frederic G. Melcher, the visionary editor of Publishers Weekly, and Anne Carroll Moore, the Superintendent of Children's Works at the New York Public Library and a major figure in the library world. With the help of Melcher and Moore, in 1916, the American Booksellers Association and the American Library Association sponsored a Good Book Week with the Boy Scouts of America.
In 1944, the newly-established Children's Book Council assumed responsibility for administering Children's Book Week. In 2008, Children’s Book Week moved from November to May. At that time, administration of Children’s Book Week, including planning official events and creating original materials, was transferred to Every Child a Reader, the philanthropic arm of the children’s publishing industry, and the Children's Book Council became a CBW anchor sponsor.
Today:
The need for Children’s Book Week today is as essential as it was in 1919, and the task remains the realization of Frederic Melcher’s fundamental declaration: “A great nation is a reading nation.”
May 14: Story Time for 3 and 4 year olds will be held at 10:00 or 1:30. There will be stories, fingerplays, drawing & cutting stories, puppet show and more!
May 15: The Kindergarten classes will be visiting the Library.
May 20: The 1st grade classes will be visiting the Library.
May 21: The 3rd grade classes will be visiting the Library.
May 27: The Library will be closed in observance of Memorial Day.
You can start calling the Library to register your children for Summer Story Times and Story Hours during the last week of May.
We will be having give aways for the children and drawings for special prizes! So, come into the library this week and check us out!
