45th Annual Mary Calletto Rife Youth Literature Seminar
Fri, November 4, 2022 @ 9:00 am–3:00 pm
Registration Required
Join us for our 45th Annual Youth Literature Seminar where we celebrate activism and taking a stand through children’s literature.
We are so excited to hear from Kyle Lukoff, Ruth Forman, and Ruta Sepetys this year! The day will include author keynotes and multiple breakout sessions. Celebrate activism, advocacy, and history through youth literature together in this day-long seminar geared towards educators, students, and anyone with an interest in youth literature. The Youth Literature Seminar is a long-standing tradition at Kalamazoo Public Library. The seminar is named after Kalamazoo Children’s Librarian, Mary Calletto Rife. Mary created a legacy of sharing books with children and we are honored to celebrate her work every November by bringing award-winning authors to Kalamazoo.
The 2022 event will be online and free to the public. Find out more about our speakers, breakout sessions, registration, and guidelines at kpl.gov/yls
