The Dooley Staff would like to thank PTA and the Dooley Families for such a wonderful week! We really enjoyed the delicious smoothies and meals…you know how to treat us right! The notes and flowers from the kids were so sweet, and the white elephant exchange was pretty funny! Plus, we are looking forward to tomorrow’s pizza luncheon. We just wanted to make sure you knew how thankful we are! Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts.

Children’s Book Week is the national celebration of books and reading for youth.
Established in 1919, Children’s Book Week is the longest-running literacy initiative in the country. Each year, we celebrate books for young people and the joy of reading! Children’s Book Week celebrates the transformative power of literacy.
History
Children’s Book Week originated in the belief that children’s books and literacy are life-changers. In 1913, Franklin K. Matthiews, the librarian of the Boy Scouts of America, began touring the country to promote higher standards in children’s books. He proposed creating a Children’s Book Week, which would be supported by all interested groups: publishers, booksellers, and librarians.
Mathiews enlisted two important allies: Frederic G. Melcher, the visionary editor of Publishers Weekly, and Anne Carroll Moore, the Superintendent of Children’s Works at the New York Public Library and a major figure in the library world. With the help of Melcher and Moore, in 1916, the American Booksellers Association and the American Library Association sponsored a Good Book Week with the Boy Scouts of America.
In 1944, the newly-established Children’s Book Council assumed responsibility for administering Children’s Book Week. In 2008, Children’s Book Week moved from November to May. At that time, administration of Children’s Book Week, including planning official events and creating original materials, was transferred to Every Child a Reader, the philanthropic arm of the children’s publishing industry, and The Children’s Book Council became a CBW anchor sponsor.
Today
The need for Children’s Book Week today is as essential as it was in 1919, and the task remains the realization of Frederic Melcher’s fundamental declaration: “A great nation is a reading nation.”
