Children's literature has been described as mirrors, windows, and doors. Come see how children's literature awards can also serve as a bridge to communities. Tennessee has the Volunteer State Book Awards (VSBA) program, and many other states also have their own awards program or programs. Through a review of Children's Book Awards in the Southeast United States, this session will provide you with the opportunity to learn about other states award programs and consider how you can support the VSBA program at your own library.
