| Books for Kids |
| Books
for Kids, established in 1991, offers an opportunity for libraries and
communities to provide new books to children who may not have any of their
own. Public, school, academic, and special libraries participate in
this worthwhile project which takes place each fall prior to the winter
holiday season. Books are collected and then distributed within a
library's own community or sent to distributing libraries for them to give out. |

The Garden
State Children’s Book Awards were established in 1977 to honor books for
elementary age readers. The awards, voted on by the children of New
Jersey, are given to both authors and illustrators in four categories:
Easy to Read, Easy to Read Series, Fiction for grades 2 – 5, and
Non-Fiction for grades 2 – 5. The committee meets three times a
year to draw up a ballot, tabulate votes, and prepare for the GSBA
Luncheon at the annual NJLA conference. |

| Performer's Showcase |
| Performer's
Showcase was specifically created to function as a venue for librarians to
preview quality entertainment to promote both literacy development and summer reading for youth. Through our annual show- cases, the committee recruits and enlists the talents of a wide variety of artists including storytellers, magicians, creative theater, and nature/science specialists. The immediate goal of Performer's Showcase is to foster and promote resource sharing of performers and programming information throughout our state. Beginning in 2005, the showcase will be presented on an annual basis each fall. For an archive of performers from past showcases, 2007-2002, view this list |
