[Natasha Forrester Campbell]

Hello Oregon library staff serving youth!

Please share and please consider applying for the Rise: A Feminist Book
Project for Ages 0-18 Book Evaluation Committee. Please consider applying,
now or in the future. Public, School, Academic, Special Libraries, ALA
membership is the only current eligibility requirement. I just finished my
third (and final) year on the committee, and it was a fantastic,
supportive, and career- and life-changing experience for me, and I'm happy
to share more information with anyone who might be interested!

Applications are now open for Rise: A Feminist Book Project for Ages 0-18
Committee. Rise (formerly known as the Amelia Bloomer Project) creates an
annual booklist of the best feminist books for young readers, ages birth

Social Responsibilities Round Table of the American Library Association.
Members of the committee are expected to be members of the American Library
Association, are expected to do a significant amount of committee reading
and participation year-round, and must be able to attend ALA Midwinter to
