Interface, Spring 2009

The Center for Children’s and Young Adult Literature is experiencing a resurgence this year as its new board of directors infuses the organization with new life, a refined mission and bylaws, and an outreach agenda that sets it on a course for national preeminence. Humanities Tennessee, a grant-making organization funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, already considers the CCYAL a well-established and effective regional advocate for children’s literature and the related intellectual capital, according to acting director Dr. Jinx Watson.
