Last spring, ALSC held a virtual conference titled, A Celebration of Illustration. Attendees appreciated the content so much and wanted more learning opportunities dedicated to analyzing illustrations. ALSC is excited to share a new summer online course, Reading the Art in Picture Books! In this 4-week course, participants will develop visual literacy skills and learn how to examine and evaluate picture books for both text and illustrations. ALSC members receive 25% off of this offering. Register: https://elearning.ala.org/local/catalog/view/product.php?productid=342.
