Thanks to Beth McGuire for forwarding this one via email. This program is sponsored by the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress and the Pennsylvania Center for the Book. Readers from grades 4 - 12 can participate in this program by writing a personal letter to an author, living or dead, explaining how that author's work changed the student's way of thinking about the world or themselves. The deadline is December 6, 2008.
