ASSOCIATION OF CHILDRENS LIBRARIANS OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
EIN 94-2842879 · Professional Societies & Associations - Education (B03)
What they do
ACL IS AN ORGANIZATION OF BAY AREA CHILDRENS LIBRARIANS WHO MEET MONTHLY TO REVIEW NEW CHILDRENS BOOKS, AND DISCUSS ITEMS RELATED TO THE PROFESSION OF A CHILDRENS LIBRARIAN. THE BOOK REVIEWS ARE COMPILED AND PUBLISHED EACH MONTH AND SENT TO MEMBERS TO AID IN THEIR SELECTION OF MATERIALS FOR THEIR INDIVIDUAL LIBRARY SYSTEMS. A YEARLY INSTITUTE IS HELD WHICH FOCUSES ON A SUBJECT AREA OR THEME IN RELATIONSHIP TO CHILDRENS BOOKS OR LIBRARY SERVICES. IN THE 2018 TAX YEAR, THE TOPIC WAS ON GENDER AND GENDER BIAS IN CHILDRENS LITERATURE. AUTHORS AND PUBLISHERS WERE INVITED TO SPEAK ON THE SUBJECT, AND A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF RELEVANT TITLES WAS GENERATED. APPROXIMATELY 75 PEOPLE ATTENDED THIS EVENT. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO HOSTS A YEARS PERFORMERS SHOWCASE IN WHICH WE INVITE LOCAL PERFORMERS (MAGICIANS, STORYTELLERS, MUSICIANS, PUPPETEERS, ETC.) TO BRIEFLY PERFORM FOR A GROUP OF LIBRARIANS WHO CAN THEN CHOOSE TO BOOK THEM FOR THEIR INDIVIDUAL LIBRARY LOCATIONS.

Money made simple

- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
