More children's and young adult authors than you can shake a stick at will
be in Austin this weekend for the Texas Book Festival. It's all free so if
you are anywhere near Austin this weekend go the extra distance. Even
parking is free at the state garages since this is on the weekend. The full
schedule is online at http://www.texasbookfestival.org/Calendar.php.
Authors you can meet include Rick Riordan, Elaine Scott, Roxie Munro, Mo
Willems, Jerry Pinkney, Cynthia Leitich Smith, Brian Floca, and many others.

Subject: [tx-yac] Holiday Movies
I've worked with this non-profit organization for a couple of years. This is
a great way to include quality (or at least lots of fun) films into your
holiday programs. The performance license is included so it's all legal. At
the end of the program your library can even keep most of the films for the
collection. --Jeanette Larson, Austin TX
KIDS FIRST! is again offering a FREE screening program for libraries. The
program runs from November 15 - January 15, 2008. We have a fun selection
of titles from studios including Arthur and the Invisibles, Deck the Halls,
Toddworld: Appreciating Differences, Goosebumps, Land Before Time: The
Wisdom of Friends and so many more. We have a limited number of each
program, so the quantity that each library receives depends on then total
number of libraries requesting titles, however we will guarantee at least 5
titles to the first 50 libraries.
Public performance rights for these titles are available through January
15th at no additional cost, so the library could host a Winter Film Festival
or sponsor after school screenings or create a Junior Film Critics Club. If
a libray would like to host a Film Festival, please have them call me so we
can arrange programming.
Here is a quick overview of the program.
Is there any cost to the program? None.
How many titles will I receive? We guarantee 5 titles to the first 50
libraries applying for the program.
When will I receive the titles? Within 10 days of application.
How do I get the application. Just email or call Ann Church at KIDS FIRST!,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or 505-989-8076.
Do I get to pick my titles? No, titles will be pre-selected, however, most
will be from major studios.
To see a listing of screenings go to http://www.kidsfirst.org/fest/
Do I return these titles? Some titles must be returned and will be clearly
marked. Titles must be returned by January 31, 2008.
Do I have public performance rights for these titles? For the period of
November 15 - January 15th, 2008.
Can my library put these titles into circulation? We hope you will!
