<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As programming director for the Children’s Book Council it has been my honor to work with librarians across the country to celebrate Children’s Book Week. This year we are working to significantly increase the number of libraries that participate
in this annual celebration of reading and books for kids and teens. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Please celebrate the 98<sup>th</sup> annual Children’s Book Week (May 1-7, 2017) with us by signing up to be an official event location. The deadline to sign up is March 1<sup>st</sup>! Use this google form to
register: <a href="https://goo.gl/forms/HCGM1QK1legMLX6q1">https://goo.gl/forms/HCGM1QK1legMLX6q1</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><a href="https://goo.gl/forms/HCGM1QK1legMLX6q1">Sign up online</a> and you’ll be listed on our national event map. Your young patrons can vote in the Children’s and Teen Choice Book Awards. There will be a 50
winner display contest and your book week participation will counts towards a First Book donation to kids in need. In return you agree to host a Children’s Book Week story time, activity hour, or author/illustrator event, and possibly even a ‘voting booth’
for the kids. You will receive official 2017 Book Week display and activity posters (illustrated by Christian Robinson), downloadable resources including Book Week bookmarks with art by four prominent illustrators, a press release template to help your spread
the word to your community, and much more! <o:p></o:p></p>
