This guest post is provided by Merri Lindgren, Librarian, Cooperative Children's Book Center
Since 1981 the Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC) has offered hands-on discussions of newly published trade books for children and young adults. CCBC discussions are for adults, including preservice and practicing teachers and librarians, and any others with an interest in literature for youth. Join us for our next discussion on Wednesday, July 20, 2022, 4-5:30 p.m., in the Elizabeth Burr Room of the Cooperative Children’s Book Center (CCBC), Room 401 Teacher Education, 225 N. Mills Street, Madison. Registration is not required but participants should read at least one or two books on the list (CCBC Book Discussion guidelines)
Books on our monthly discussion lists are new titles selected for discussion; they aren’t CCBC book recommendations. Our book recommendations can be found in the annual CCBC Choices list and included in our CCBC-Recommended Books database. We also feature a new book weekly in our book of the week reviews.
Check the UW-Madison COVID response page for current mask requirements closer to the meeting date.
