2020 Youth Literature Seminar

Featuring Award-Winning Authors Candace Fleming, Varian Johnson & Paula Yoo


The 2020 Youth Literature Seminar is online and FREE to attend.


The Time is Now

The traumatic events that have occurred during most of 2020 have drawn many comparisons to similar events in U.S. history. A pandemic, racism, political and civil unrest, and a floundering economy have not only caused many people to experience severe emotional and mental distress but have also torn open old scars for those who have survived similar events.

This year’s Youth Literature Seminar will focus not only on how our present echoes our past, but also how historical trauma affects how we respond to current tragedies. Join us as we examine our past, its impact on our present and our future, and how books can help guide us through a process of healing, growth, and unity.

This event is free and open to the public. Please visit the 2020 Youth Literature Seminar webpage to learn more about our featured speakers, breakout sessions, schedule and to register to receive the link to attend.
