2018 Coretta Scott King Book Donation Grants Announced
Art and the eKhaya eKasi Art and Education Center in Khayelitsha, South Africa;
the Athens Housing Authority, University of
Georgia College of Education, and Parkview
Community in Athens, GA; and the Uni
Project in New York, have been selected to
receive books as part of the 2018 Coretta
Scott King Book Donation Grant program.
Awarded each spring by the Coretta Scott
King Book Awards Committee, the grant
program donates books originally submitted
for consideration for the Coretta Scott King
Book Awards to organizations and schools in
need. Three organizations are selected from a
field of applicants that demonstrate need and
potential benefit from receiving the collection. All winners will receive copies of titles
submitted to the 2018 Coretta Scott King
Book Awards, including a full set of the year's
winner and honor books.
Art Aids Art, a U.S. nonprofit organization, founded eKhaya eKasi Art and Education Center in Khayelitsha, South Africa
in 2008. The center provides a venue for
children and their families to learn and create together, hosting community events and
educational programs relating to literacy, the
arts, life skills, critical thinking, reproductive
health, and more. The books will be added

BOOK YOUR
TRIP

to the circulating collection of the township's
Multicultural Children's Library that was
started with books received from a previous
Coretta Scott King Book Awards grant. The
new titles will be used to support continued
instruction, independent reading, and a
celebration of the organization's 10th anniversary. To encourage bilingual development,
the staff at eKhaya eKasi will also translate
books into the local tongue, isiXhosa.
In Athens, a partnership between the
University of Georgia's College of Education, the Athens Housing Authority, and
Parkview Community has resulted in the
development of a library that is available to
all residents and the cultivation of resources
that support individual, family, and community literacy development while helping
leverage community knowledge, local historic memory, and counter-storytelling. The
books received from the grant will be integral
to Parkview Community literacy initiatives
and programs, which will include tutoring,
storytelling, dramatic play, guest speakers,
author visits, and workshops relating to
censorship and social activism.
The Uni Project is a nonprofit organization that creates learning environments in
public spaces across New York City, including drawing studios, science and engineering environments, and reading rooms. The
grant books will be added to a custom-made
portable book cart that will travel into the
city's "book deserts." There will be benches
for all members of the public to use as they
explore the collection, and the sides of the
cart will include drawing materials and mini
book reviews written by participating New
Yorkers. The books will be shared with the
community through discussions and read
alouds, and author readings and additional

events will be hosted to spotlight the new
resources.
The Coretta Scott King Book Awards encourage the artistic expression of the African
American experience through literature and
the graphic arts. Since 1969, the Coretta
Scott King Book Awards annually recognize
outstanding African American authors and
illustrators of books for children and young
adults that demonstrate an appreciation of
African American culture and universal human values. The Awards are presented by the
Coretta Scott King Book Awards Community of the American Library Association's Eth-

nic and Multicultural Information Exchange
Round Table (EMIERT). The Coretta Scott
King Book Awards Community includes
the Book Award Jury (which also awards
the John Steptoe New Talent Award), the
Virginia Hamilton Lifetime Achievement
Award Jury, and standing committees focusing on topics including Archives and History,
Nominating, Programs, Public Relations/
Marketing, Publications, and Technology.
The Coretta Scott King Book Awards
will celebrate its 50th Anniversary in 2019.

ACRL Preconferences Highlight
Assessment, Digital Scholarship
ACRL is sponsoring two preconference sessions at the ALA Annual Conference & Exhibition in New Orleans.
The day-long preconference "Assessment
in Action: Demonstrating and Communicating Library Contributions to
Student Learning and Success," focuses
on strategic and sustainable assessment.
Attendees will learn to identify institutional priorities and campus partners,
design an assessment project grounded
in action research, and prepare a plan for
communicating the project results. Held
from 8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. on Friday,
June 22 this preconference is based on
the highly successful ACRL Assessment
in Action program curriculum.
If you're a liaison librarian or functional specialist curious about how to
translate your skills and approaches to

reference interviews into strategies for
consulting on digital scholarship topics,
the hands-on preconference "Deconstructing Digital Scholarship Consultations in the Library" is for you. Learn
an overview of the digital scholarship
landscape in different emerging topical
areas, including research data management, digital humanities, and geospatial
data. Attendees will delve into breakout
sessions featuring hands-on exercises
working through different scenarios
drawn from the facilitators' personal
experiences. This half-day preconference
will be held from 12:30 - 4:00 p.m. on
Friday, June 22.
Both preconferences require separate
preregistration and additional information is available at http://www.ala.org/
