Our presenters will be joined by celebrity moderator Jon Scieszka, founder of Guys Read, a nonprofit web-based literacy program with the mission to help boys become self-motivated, lifelong readers. In 2008, Scieszka was appointed the first National Ambassador for Young People's Literature, a position created by the Library of Congress to raise national awareness of the importance of young people's literature as it relates to lifelong literacy, education, and the development and betterment of the lives of young people. You also know Scieszka as the author of several bestselling children's titles, including The Stinky Cheese Man, which won a Caldecott Honor medal, The True Story of the Three Little Pigs, Robot Zot!, Trucktown, Spaceheadz and the Time Warp Trio, a chapter book series.

Join us for this very special 75 minute webcast which will include a closing Q&A session with Jon about boys, books, and reading.
