"Teachers, librarians, and interested adults! Sign up now to participate in the annual ACPL Mock Caldecott Election. Help us pick the most distinguished American picture book for children published in 2010. No experience necessary! We invite you to join in the discussion of new picture book titles currently underway on the ACPL Mock Caldecott Blog. Our plan is to narrow down these titles to four short lists over the course of the year -- and your comments on the blog will help us do so. Look for our first short list to be published in June 2010. Registration is open for our Mock Caldecott Election, which will be held on Saturday, January 8th, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Main Library in Fort Wayne. We'll meet in person for a final discussion, and then we will vote on our favorites, following the ALSC Guidelines as closely as possible. "

"The rain stick is a percussion instrument made from a dried cactus branch. It originated in Chile, South America where tribesmen have used the sticks for centuries to serenade the gods in hopes of bringing rain. Only wooden skeletons are used in creating rain sticks, and removing the old, dead growth provides room for new vegetation in dense cactus forests. "

"The goal of this event is to encourage teachers from all subject areas to teach students basic concepts about copyright during Copyright Awareness Week. We hope that through this understanding, students will be more appreciative of the efforts of creative people and the protections the law affords them. Many people are avid users of copyrighted materials such as music, film, books, magazines, art and photographs, but they have little or no understanding about how these works are protected or why our forefathers felt copyright protections should be included in our constitution. We hope that you will enjoy learning about this important subject and that you will encourage other students, teachers and parents to engage in the study of copyright during Copyright Awareness Week. We are always looking for new ideas to share with other teachers and students. Please email us and let us know what your class studied during Copyright Awareness Week. You may contact us with this information or any questions you might have regarding Copyright Awareness Week at Contact the CSUSA Office. We hope your study leads you to a greater understanding and appreciation for creators and their creations. "
