The biennial Summer Institute, an intensive weekend-long program, is part of the Center for the Study of Children's Literature.

This year's program includes a symposium taught by Associate Professor Kenneth Kidd from the University of Florida and appearances by Mordicai Gerstein, Sara Pennypacker, David Small, Jacqueline Woodson, and Gene Yang.

The library has put together a book display honoring The Body Electric theme of the 2011 Summer Institute.  The display is located immediately inside the main library entrance on the first floor of Lefavour Hall.

Come by and explore!
