[CALIBK12] California Young Reader Medal Committee Needs YOU

[Paula Dacker]

The California Young Reader Medal Committee is seeking applicants to
serve a three-year appointment beginning June 2009.  Members will meet
four times per year, help plan CYRM activities at the CSLA conferences,
and contribute to the CYRM Resource Book.  CSLA has budgets for some
travel and hotel expenses.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?
Members will work with twelve congenial colleagues with the common goal
of increasing the number of young people who read for pleasure.  While
the number of books to read may seem daunting at first, the reading is
actually the best part of serving on CYRM.  Your children's literature
expertise will grow by leaps and bounds, and your book talk repetoire
will explode!  

If you would like to be considered for appointment to the CYRM
Committee, please send a letter of application which includes:  1.  Your
name, work and home addresses and phone numbers, school and/or district
and current position; 2. prior service in CSLA activities; 3. experience
in reviewing children's books; 4. experience in presentations on
children's literature to adult groups; 5. participation in or promotion
of the CYRM program; 6. experience in giving books talks and developing
programs based on children's books; 7. any other experience which may be
pertinent; 8. a statement telling why you would like to be a member of
the committee.

Please mail your application by December 15 to:  Paula Dacker, CSLA-CYRM
Senior Member, Charter Oak High School, P. O. Box 9, Covina, CA  91723. 
If you have any questions, contact any committee member.
