A celebration of children, families, and reading held annually since 1996, Children's Day/Book

Children (ALSC) presents a collection of the best of its Di­a programming ideas, offering

• A wealth of ready-to-use programs, easily adaptable for a variety of cultures
• Cultural competency training tips to encourage outreach to minority populations
• Interviews with library directors about the best ways to heighten awareness of cultural and
  literacy issues

Complemented by numerous bilingual book suggestions, this resource is perfect for collection
