Congratulations to OSU Children's Library Fund for being one of two projects awarded the IBBY-Asahi Reading Promotion Award. This award, initiated by the International Board on Books for Young People and sponsored by the Japanese newspaper company the Asahi Shimbun, is presented to projects run by groups or institutions that are judged to be making a lasting contribution to reading promotion for children and young people.
Winnipegger , good friend of McNally Robinson Booksellers,and author of many fine children's books about Ghana, is the founder of OSU Children's Library Fund. We take great pleasure in offering our congratulations to Kathy and her many supporters for the great work they have done and continue to do in Ghana.
The Award is given every two years to two projects and presented to the winners at the biennial IBBY Congress. The jury chooses two winners from twelve nominations each of whom wins $10,000 for their organization. All the projects were of great merit and complemented IBBY's Mission Statement. Each nominated project targeted children who live in disadvantageous circumstances with no or little access to books.
