Letters About Literature is a Library of Congress national reading and writing promotion program that asks young people in grades 4 through 12 to write to an author (living or deceased) about how his or her book affected their lives. This session will provide helpful hints for encouraging student writing and reading in the classroom, school library, and public library. The Nebraska Library Commission and the Nebraska Center for the Book (Nebraska’s sponsors of the Letters About Literature competition) recently awarded grants (funded by Humanities Nebraska) to five schools and public libraries to host pilot Letter Writing Clinics for students in their area. The clinics introduced students to the Letters About Literature contest and letter writing techniques. Students got ideas for selecting books and learned how to craft letters that can be submitted to the Letters About Literature contest. We will share lessons learned from these activities at this session.

The program’s focus and objective is to assist former members of all branches of the armed services to transition into civilian life by providing job training, experience, and personal development in hazardous fuels activities. These activities could include thinning, hand piling, limbing and brushing vegetation, assisting with prescribed fire burn units for implementation and monitoring. Although this is a Hazardous Fuels program, wildfire training and participation is generally required.

Moving Forward Looking Back - Summer library initiatives
This summer we had a team of five summer students and they worked on the Moving Forward Looking Back initiatives. With lots of conversations, dialogues, reflections the students focused on four themes: Skill development via the summer experiential learning program, Partnerships created via book giveaways, Youth Summit event which involved hearing the voices of our youth, and let’s learn project management skills by viewing the book giveaway timeline and history. Based on these four themes the following seven brochures were created by our summer students.

2. Testimonials
The Young Writers Program has been an educationally rich
opportunity for our pupils, who are from all around the
world. Some of them struggle in English, as we're located
in Kazakhstan, but I watched all of them grow and develop
as writers, thinkers, and creators over the month of the
Young Writers Program. They're excited to do it again this
year and engage further in developing their own stories
about their world!
Celia Emmelhainz, K–8 educator, Astana, Kazakhstan
This year, a senior who has been participating in
NaNoWriMo since his sophomore year has organized a
writing class for other students. ‘To the students who
participate, it is life changing... Two of our authors have
gone on to self-publish their novels, and we have added
their titles to our [school library] collection.’
