Oprah’s Kids Reading List Announced

Oprah and the American Library Association (ALA) have teamed up to provide parents and readers with a Kids Reading List on “The Oprah Winfrey Show’s” website.

The list is divided in to give age groups, from infant to ages 12 and up and contains an annotated bibliography of librarian recommended reading. There is also a Classics section.

“One of our goals as librarians is to provide all children with quality reading materials,” said ALSC President Pat Scales. “By teaming up with Oprah’s Book Club, we’re able to connect with a wide range of people we may not have reached otherwise. Whether children come into our library or are given a book from our recommended reading list, we are helping our youngest and most important patrons.”

The list was compiled by the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) Quicklists Consulting Committee.
