KANSAS NOTABLE BOOKS: The Kansas Notable Books project of the Kansas Center for
the Book (KCFB) at the State Library of Kansas will annually identify up to 20 titles of books by Kansans or about Kansas published in the previous year. A committee of the KCFB Board of Affiliates is responsible for identifying these titles. (Entry
deadline for 2008 is January 31, 2008.) Each annual list will be
announced by July. Stickers will be produced for each of the titles and distributed to libraries, booksellers, and other interested parties or organizations for the cost of production. For more information contact the Kansas Center

LETTERS ABOUT LITERATURE: is a reading and writing initiative for young people grades 4-12. The letters are written to authors, living or from the past, whose books have impacted the students’ lives. Entries are at three levels: grades 4-5;
grades 6-8; and grades 9-12. Letters About Literature is open to public, private, and home school students. It is a unique learning opportunity, combining reading with composition, meeting curriculum indicators in current state standards, and the top
essayists on each competition level will receive a cash award and a Target gift card. The first place winner in Kansas will advance to national judging.
Letters About Literature is promoted through school library media centers, public library children’s departments, the
Fellows of the Kansas Center for the Book, educators in public and private schools, and other interested persons. The intent is to reach libraries, classrooms in public and private schools, home schoolers, and any young Kansans of elementary, middle
school or high school age.
