Children's Book Week - May 1-7, 2017





Children's Book Week - May 1-7, 2017

As read in the Children's Book Week (CBW) website, "CBW is an annual celebration for young people and the joy of reading. "  "CBW was established 98 years ago and is the longest-running literacy initiative with the belief that children's books and literacy are life-changers." 

The downloadable and printer friendly 2017 Children's Book Week Poster was designed by the award-winning children's book illustrator, Christian Robinson.  This year's slogan is "One World, Many Stories."  The back side of this poster includes: Official events, celebrations, and activities.  Here you can download and print bookmarks illustrated by artists.  As a part of CBW, children and teens can vote @EveryChildaReader.net for the Children's & Teen Choice Book Awards.


With only seven weeks of the school year left,  CBW is a great way to start thinking about and adding these lists to students summer reading lists!  Encourage students to have a reading goal this summer or join the summer reading program at the local public library.
