Caldecott Read-In
Help us predict a winner! Join our live discussion and vote for your favorite illustrated book as librarians present the top ten contenders.
(Sat) Jan. 23, 2021 | 10 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
For the past 47 years our local Caldecott Read-In has been held in January to read and review the best picture books of the previous year. Teachers, librarians and children's book fans have the chance to read and examine dozens of books and then vote to predict the winner of the Caldecott Medal. This 48th annual virtual Read-In will be a bit different, but attendees will still get a list of the best books of the year along with librarian reviews of our top ten favorites. A live discussion and voting will predict our 2021 winner. Check out the list of contenders below.
Contact hours available for attendees.
