"The professional discourse continued with adults, of course, but the topic of literature for children remained important. The delegation had the opportunity to meet with the staff at Scholastic Books, and learn how children's book publishing in the United States supports K-12 education, school libraries, public libraries and family literacy initiatives in the community."
"The Executive Director of the Ezra Jack Keats Foundation, Debra Pope, also was at the Scholastic meeting, and addressed the issues of grant awards for children's literature and the importance of multicultural materials for American children."
"The group finished its visit to Scholastic with a tour of the Scholastic Books Library, the only corporate library on their itinerary."
