avenues of engagement

USBBY members take action. Members enjoy year-round opportunities to be involved in and move forward all aspects of the children’s book world - locally, nationally, and, of course, internationally.

This installment of BRIDGES highlights Your Membership at Work, the opportunities that attending and making connections at the upcoming Regional Conference can afford, and new channels for enjoying an active membership.
