FYI,

The Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) is pleased to announce that registration for the 2021 Children's Literature Lecture Celebration, honoring the work of Dr. Rudine Sims Bishop, is now open! The celebration will be hosted by ALSC virtually on Thursday, December 2, 2021, from 5:00pm-6:15pm ET. Register now!

The Children's Literature Lecture Award honors an individual of distinction in the field of children's literature. Dr. Bishop, Professor Emerita at The Ohio State University, has served on numerous noteworthy committees for ALA and other organizations. Her research, writing and teaching have informed and expanded conversations about representation of African Americans in children's literature and provided a critical framework for research and pedagogy. 

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Dr. Bishop will not deliver this year's lecture. In lieu of a lecture, ALSC is delighted to host a celebration in Dr. Bishop's honor. This celebration will include a live, moderated panel discussing Dr. Bishop's impact; pre-recorded remarks from creators, thought leaders, and Dr. Bishop herself; and resources for attendees. 

This live celebration is free to attend - join us as we celebrate and honor Dr. Bishop!
