The CBC Diversity will headline a panel event at the American Library Association (ALA) Midwinter Meeting on Sunday, January 27th. The event starts at 3:00 p.m. Alvina Ling, Executive Editorial Director at Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, and Ayanna Coleman, Children's Book Council Events Associate & Librarian, will serve as the session speakers.
"We will be holding an informational session about the initiative and all the resources it offers librarians. Not only will the session showcase valuable information about the initiative and how the publishing industry is handling the current state of diversity in children's books but, it will also allow the librarian-filled audience to ask questions and give advice to the representatives about the future of CBC Diversity."
