[kids-lib] Help needed to select giveaway books to go to children's librarians

[Katie Anderson]

I am looking for children's library staff who are interested in helping to select the English giveaway books for the Reading for Healthy Families project.  

Those of you working in Oregon public libraries in the counties listed below will be invited to participate in Reading for Healthy Families, a free statewide early literacy training program.  Each Reading for Healthy Family participant receives 15-20 books to giveaway to families they provide with early literacy education.  If you are planning to participate in Reading for Healthy Families, this is your opportunity to help select which English titles you will be given at the training.  

If you volunteer to do this, your task will be to: 
Review a list of about 60 for children 0-5 years old, eliminate titles from the list which are inappropriate or inaccurate, and highlight titles you think are "must haves" 
Suggest additional "must have" titles to add to the list   
Your input will be due by Monday, July 13th
Please let me know if you are interested in helping to select English giveaway books by Wednesday, July 1st.
