************************************************************** Net Happenings - From Educational CyberPlayGround ************************************************************** From: "David P. Dillard" ?jwne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx? Sent: Thu, 15 May 2003 10:38:38 -0400 (EDT) Somebody involved with literature for children in another country asked on a discussion group for a list of organizations that might provide support and consultation to arrest the decline this person perceives of literature for children in their country. The list of resources that I suggested to this person may be of interest to the members of this list. ----------------- It is impossible to know which organization(s) will take an interest in this problem and prove helpful. One must try and at least hope for a referal if the organization contacted cannot or will not help. Here are some organizations to consider approaching for advice, guidance or assitance with the problem that you pose. ------------------- ERIC Clearinghouse on Elementary and Early Childhood Education College of Education University of Illinois 51 Gerty Dr. Champaign, IL 61820-7469 USA Telephone: (217)333-1386 Fax: (217)333-3767 E-mail: ericeece@xxxxxxxx URL: http://ericeece.org Foundation Center 79 5th Ave. New York, NY 10003-3076 USA Telephone: (212)807-3690 Fax: (212)807-3691 Canadian Children's Book Centre 40 Orchard View Blvd., Ste. 101, Lower Level Toronto, ON, Canada M4R 1B9 Telephone: (416)975-0010 Fax: (416)975-8970 E-mail: info@xxxxxxxxxxxxx URL: http://www.bookcentre.ca Association of Booksellers for Children 3900 Sumac Cir.
