FYI,

From ALA Connect:

As part of the work of the CALA/YALSA Taskforce, we're hosting a series of webinars featuring authors from the Stories Beyond Borders: A Chinese American and Diasporic Reading List. You can view our printable PDF now housed in the Chinese American Librarians Association's repository (CALASYS): bit.ly/calastoriesbeyond 

The first webinar Middle Grade Storytellers will take place on May 15th at 10am CDT / 11am EDT and features middle grade authors Karina Yan Glaser (A Duet for Home), Lisa Yee (Maizy Chen's Last Chance), and Wendy Wan-Long Shang (The Secret Battle of Evan Pao) in conversation with Taskforce member Amy Chow. CALA President Ray Pun will make opening remarks.  Register at bit.ly/mgstories

Please feel free to share the attached promotional graphic and description with your colleagues and networks. All attendees are welcome, including library workers, educators, students, and families. (Note that if they are not ALA members, they will need to create a free account by clicking the "Don't yet have an ALA account? Make one!" line at the bottom of the ALA login page.  YALSA will also share the recording once available.)

We hope to see you there!

Warmly.
