SUMMARY:Meet Mac Barnett\, National Ambassador for Young People's Literature
DESCRIPTION:The Coronado Library is thrilled to announce that children’s author Mac Barnett (Triangle\,  Sam and Dave Dig a Hole\, Mac Undercover)\, will appear in person on Tuesday\, May 20. \nStarting at 3:30 pm\, Mac will be at the library to meet fans and sign books. At 4 pm\, he will share picture book favorites and showcase the deeply impactful ways picture books blend words and illustrations\, and even the turning of a page\, to create a uniquely powerful reading experience. Mac will share his passion for picture books and invite children and adults alike to join him in celebrating what’s vibrant\, joyful and inspiring about this quintessential – and highly participatory – American art form at this all-ages and family-friendly event. \nEach year\, Barnett will visit only five locations as National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature. Coronado was selected out of 350 applicants for this honor and is his only site visit this school year and the very first one of his tour! The Coronado Library was selected with the Coronado Unified School District as one of five libraries in the country that Mac would appear at in this role. As the only library West of the Rio Grande that was chosen\, we are thrilled to host Mac’s public appearance in Coronado for this tour. This visit is made possible thanks to the Library of Congress and Every Child a Reader. \nRegistration is encouraged for this event. Please register each person attending. Reserved seats will be held until 3:30 pm after which any open spots will be given to standby seating. \n\n\n  \nAward-winning author Mac Barnett is excited to share his passion for picture books with children and adults. The tradition of the picture book is a tradition of experimentation\, just like childhood itself. Every page turn contains infinite possibilities – a journey of discovery and connections. After all\, picture books blend words and illustrations to create a uniquely powerful reading experience\, one that is often the foundation for a lifetime of reading. On his nationwide tour as national ambassador\, Mac invites readers of all ages to join him in celebrating what’s vibrant\, joyful and inspiring about this quintessential American art form. \n“Children deserve entertaining stories and meaningful art! I am\, of course\, excited to talk to young readers. But I’m also eager to speak to adults – who often underestimate or overlook children’s literature – to champion the power of picture books and the brilliance of the kids who read them.” – Mac Barnett\, National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature \nIn partnership with the Library of Congress and Every Child a Reader\, the National Ambassador is an advocate for reading across the country.
