REPRESENTATION, VISIBILITY, AND OPPORTUNITIES

Have you done USBBY/IBBY outreach lately? Please free to send a brief description to newsletter editor, Bindy Fleischman,  for consideration in a future quarterly issue of BRIDGES.

​Looking for more ways to get involved?  

1. THINK REGIONAL 2022! If you have an idea for a breakout session you'd like to faciliate, relating international books and the conference theme of The Music of Words,  please submit your proposal here.
2. Want to serve on one of USBBY's many volunteer committees? Please contact USBBY President, Evie Freeman, to express your interest.
3. Know of someone you think would love to be involved in promoting international children's books, but isn't yet a member? Please direct them to the USBBY membership page, or, better yet, surprise them with the gift of membership.

Wonder who represents you and your interests in USBBY?
