The Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC), a division of the American Library Association, is holding a public launch of its Kids! @ your library. Campaign on Sunday, November 12, at the Boston Public Library to help kick off Childrens Book Week.

With a message So much to see. So much to do. @ your library., the Campaign is geared towards children in grades K-4, their parents and caregivers. The goal of the initiative is to have all school-age children using their library and to remind parents that taking their kids to the library is one of the best things they can do for their children. You can learn more about the Campaign at www.ala.org/kids.ALAs Public Information Office is handling the media outreach for this event. They are looking for new and innovative childrens programs and services for children in grades K-4 across the country. The best examples will be shared as part of our media efforts.
