Creation of a New York State History Reading List for the 2009 Statewide Summer Reading Program
The New York State Library is looking for input from local school and public librarians who work with youth for the creation of New York State history reading lists for pre-schoolers and school age children and teens. The reading list will be used as part of the 2009 Statewide Summer Reading Program and will be available to libraries and families statewide. The New York State Library's Statewide Summer Reading Program (SSRP), the Youth Services Section of the New York Library Association (YSS), and the School Library Media Section of the New York Library Association (SLMS) are partnering with “Explore 400” (Hudson-Fulton-Champlain Quadricentennial) to compile reading lists for children and teens that celebrate New York State’s history and culture.
