It is with great joy that I would like to announce the results of the 2011 Oregon Library Association/Washington Library Association Mock Caldecott Award! Mock Caldecott Award - City Dog, Country Frog by Mo Willems, Illustrated by Jon J. Muth Mock Caldecott Honor Books - Art & Max by David Wiesner Black Jack: The Ballad of Jack Johnson by Charles R. Smith, Jr., Illustrated by Shane W. Evans Mama Miti: Wangari Maathai and the Trees of Kenya by Donna Jo Napoli, Illustrated by Kadir Nelson The 2011 Mock Caldecott Workshop was held at the Multnomah County Library's Central Library (Portland, Oregon) this past Saturday. Over 40 librarians, authors, illustrators, and educators from across Oregon and Washington came to learn about the Caldecott Award and select a local mock winner. Attendees were introduced to the Caldecott process by 2010 Caldecott Committee member Suzanne Harold. Barbara Head, another librarian with Multnomah County Library, provided participants with an overview of Visual Thinking Strategies, a method of inquiry used for looking at picture books. Following a crash course in judging the art of picture books vis-?-vis the ALA Caldecott criteria, participants broke into small groups and discussed a list of potential 2011 Caldecott contenders. After a day filled with "all things picture book", participants took part in a balloting process similar to the actual process used to select the real Caldecott Award. OLA and WLA organizers would like to thank Multnomah County Library and its librarians for presenting a wonderful workshop! I apologize for any cross-posting.

I just finished reading Library Hotline and found one article well-worth sharing. You can read the article online at http://tiny.cc/n1t4a and read the study the article is based on at http://www.kff.org/entmedia/upload/8010.pdf, and I've also cut and pasted the article at the bottom of this email. Here are three quotes from the article that I found particularly interesting, especially the last one which relates to school librarians: * 8- to 18-year-olds now spend more than seven hours a day on televisions, computers, video game consoles and even radios * The American Academy of Pediatricians (AAP) isn't only concerned about the cumulative amount of media children are now exposed to but its long term effects, ranging from obesity to poor achievement in school. * The AAP also wants Congress to fund media literacy courses in schools aimed at kids, stating that the federal government should "dramatically increase their funding for media research" to ensure all students make positive choices in what media they consume-as well as understand the context of what those messages mean. Katie Anderson, Library Development Services * Youth Services Consultant * Oregon Center for the Book Coordinator * Oregon State Library, 250 Winter St. NE, Salem, OR 97301 katie.anderson at state.or.us, 503-378-2528 Pediatricians Should Promote Reading, Media Literacy, Study Says By Lauren Barack October 26, 2010 Doctors need to follow their own rules when it comes to media use among children and promote reading and educational toys in their waiting rooms--instead of TV and videos. So says new guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), which also calls on pediatricians to educate themselves about the risks of too much media exposure in children and ask parents how much of it their children digest daily. "Pediatricians need to become educated about the public health risks of media," say the study's authors in a new policy statement. "Given the impact that media have on the health of children and adolescents, AAP chapters and districts, as well as medical schools and residency training programs, should ensure that ongoing education in this area is a high priority." The AAP notes that 8- to 18-year-olds now spend more than seven hours a day on televisions, computers, video game consoles and even radios, quoting a 2010 Kaiser Family Foundation study. The AAP isn't only concerned about the cumulative amount of media children are now exposed to but its long term effects, ranging from obesity to poor achievement in school. To that end, the organization is asking its members to step up their assessment of young patients, hopeful that more vigilance will lead parents and children to more thoughtfully consider what media they choose to engage with-and how. Pediatricians are now advised to suggest that children's bedrooms be "electronic media-free" areas and that parents model this behavior as well. The AAP also wants Congress to fund media literacy courses in schools aimed at kids, stating that the federal government should "dramatically increase their funding for media research" to ensure all students make positive choices in what media they consume-as well as understand the context of what those messages mean. "Media education has the potential to reduce harmful media effects," writes the AAP. "In the past 2 centuries, to be "literate" meant that a person could read and write. In the new millennium, to be "literate" means that a person can successfully understand and decode a variety of different media. Given the volume of information transmitted through mass media as opposed to the written word, it is now as important to teach media literacy as it is to teach print literacy." -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
