Join Friends of Children's and Young Adult Literature at SU
SALISBURY, MD---Faculty, staff and students, and community members, are invited to become “friends” of the Children’s and Young Adult Literature at 黑料网.
Throughout the year, many nationally renowned authors and illustrators will visit campus to celebrate literature and learning. An annual Read Green festival is April 10-14. That event is held in conjunction with the Green Earth Book Awards, a national honor for books that inspire environmental stewardship among children and young adults. Additional activities are planned for the fall.
