Want to increase your engagement with USBBY/IBBY? Become a State Ambassador!

State Ambassadors around the country come up with myriad ways to engage their local and state communities in the promotion of international children's literature throughout the year; and USBBY State Ambassadors are playing multiple roles in the IBBY Regional Conference on October 25-27, 2019 in Austin.  


  • Congratulations to Marion Rocco, State Ambassador from Texas, and Isaac Larison, State Ambassador from West Virginia, who have played key roles in the conference planning and in the amazing program that has been put together along with a myriad of details.
  • In addition, many state ambassadors are presenting on the program and helping out as hosts for authors participating in the conference.
  • USBBY is currently recruiting new state ambassadors and and invite those who are interested to attend and learn about the program during the two State Ambassador meetings at Regional Conference on Friday, 2:30-3:00, and Saturday, 3:30-4:30. These meetings are for all current state ambassadors and anyone who wants to find out more about the state ambassador role in USBBY.
