You don't have to be a childrens, school or youth librarian to appreciate great new fiction and illustration. Why not expand your reading horizon and take a look at one or two of the shortlisted titles. You're guaranteed a great read!
The Youth Libraries Group in Wales will also talk about the collaborative, professional skills involved in selecting titles for the long- and short-lists for the Kate Greenaway Medal at the CILIP Cymru Wales Annual Conference in a workshop on Friday 17 May. It's going to be an interesting, entertaining, hands-on session! More information here.
