Warm greetings from the Reinberger Children's Library Center (RCLC)!

We are thrilled to host our Seventh Annual Mock Caldecott Night on Friday, January 22, 2021 from approximately 4pm to 6:30pm. This FREE ONLINE workshop will offer an opportunity to discuss our collective selection of some of the top 2020 picturebooks and choose a winner and honor books for the Caldecott Awards. All are welcome to join us on what is sure to be an interesting and fun discussion.
