ALA Midwinter Panel Focuses on Diversity in Children’s Books

CBC Diversity, a committee-run initiative of the Children’s Book Council, will be making an appearance at ALA Midwinter 2013. The informational session will provide details about the initiative and all of the resources it offers librarians, one being the constantly updated CBC Diversity Goodreads Bookshelf which utilizes the bookshelf tags to organize the collection based on the different types of diversity that can be found in children’s literature.

Not only will the session showcase valuable information about the initiative and how the publishing industry is handling the current state of diversity in children’s books but, it will also allow the librarian-filled audience to ask questions and give advice to the representatives about the future of CBC Diversity.

Visit the CBC Diversity blog for more information about the initiative (and to sneak a peek at the other valuable resources before the panel) and check out the CBC Diversity ALA Midwinter flyer below for all of the details.
