[Michlib-l] Youth & Teen Services Updates

[Lancaster, Cathy (MDE)]

Ready to Read Michigan
Reminder: To support your early literacy work, print your own sets of stickers, posters, flyers, and of course the Ready to Read Michigan (RTRM) Toolkit: https://readytoreadmi.org/resources.  Posters and flyers in additional languages are not yet on the new website, so go to www.Mi.gov/ReadyToRead<http://www.Mi.gov/ReadyToRead> page for links to additional materials. The RTRM book program ended in 2020, with the RTRM now focusing on getting libraries support materials and trainings for early literacy, rather than a specific title.

The 2021 BGNC Top Ten list features such titles as: "Pawcasso" by Remy Lai, "The Magic Fish" by Trung Le Nguyen, and "Just Roll with It" by Lee Durfey-Lavoie and Veronica Agarwal. The Best Graphic Novels for Children Reading List Selection Committee is made up of GNCRT members with a background in graphic novel selection and their use for children and children's services. Angela Frederick, chair of the BGNC selection committee said, "The titles and authors featured on this year's list represent a multitude of experiences, story-telling techniques, and art styles. Parents and librarians using this list will find something that will appeal to the young people in their lives."
