Have you heard of the Children's Cooperative Book Center (CCBC) here in Madison?
The CCBC is a special non-circulating library and research center within UW-Madison's School of Education focusing on children's and young adult literature for educators, librarians, students, and the public, known nationally for tracking diversity in publishing and offering curated book recommendations. It serves as a vital resource for examining new books and materials, supporting literacy, and promoting diverse voices in children's literature.
The Friends of the CCBC are currently looking for some new board members. This would be a really great way to support the important work of the CCBC and to add a neat experience to your resume!
The Friends of the CCBC support the work of the CCBC in many ways, including
- Publication of the annual CCBC Choices digital booklet
- Financial support for the Charlotte Zolotow Award and sale of its seals and notecards
- Support for the Charlotte Zolotow Lecture. Lecturers have included Meg Medina, Angeline Boulley, Grace Lin, Christopher Myers, Kate DiCamillo, Yuyi Morales, Jason Reynolds, Leonard Marcus, Paul Fleischman, Rita Williams Garcia, Jaqueline Woodson and many others
- Gifts to enhance the visual and working environment of the library, including artwork framing, a custom-made exhibit case, furniture, and more
- The Friends also hold one or more book sales per year to raise funds for CCBC events and programs.
The open positions are:
1. Membership Secretary, two year term from 2026-2028
