If you aren’t already excited enough by the 75th anniversary of the Caldecott Medal, than ALSC has something for you. New Caldecott-themed webinars.
Over the next next year, ALSC will offer a four-part series of webinars focused on the Caldecott Medal. One looks at the principles for illustrating a great picture book. Another examines techniques for bringing books and children together through classroom and library programming. New webinars will be announced soon.
One of the best parts? These are free for ALSC members! Thinking about becoming an ALSC member? You could save up to $165! Registration for nonmembers is $55 for individuals and $195 for groups. Registration is limited to 95 participants.
