The Library of Congress and Every Child a Reader will celebrate Meg Medina’s two-year term as National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature with a special closing event for local students in the Washington, D.C., area on Dec. 12.
“Meg Medina’s tenure as ambassador was extraordinary,” said Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden. “Not only did Meg show us how talking about books develops our reading lives, but she also crisscrossed the country, holding dynamic events in schools and public libraries, built an 18-part video series, and personally connected students and their families to unique Library of Congress resources. Meg’s service to our nation’s children and teens, coupled with her deep belief in the Library’s mission to advance knowledge and creativity, put her in a new tier of what is possible as an ambassador.”
Medina, who was inaugurated as the eighth National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature on Jan. 18, 2023, is the first Latina to hold the role. She will wrap up her tenure with a final celebration at 10:30 a.m. EST on Dec. 12 in the Coolidge Auditorium of the Library’s Thomas Jefferson Building. Tickets are free, but registration is required.
