CSK Programs in 2019

To commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Coretta Scott King Book Awards Committee, the CSK Program Committee is challenging librarians, educators, and all lovers of children’s literature across the nation to hold one or more programs, classes, presentations, speeches, etc., highlighting the committee, award-winning books, authors, or illustrators in each of the 50 states. You are encouraged to use these resources, programs, and activities as a base to build upon.
