Project director Robin Levin will learn from sixty-nine other librarians who won this honor and will attend high-power educational sessions.  Katherine Patterson, award-winning children’s author and 2010 children’s literary ambassador, is the keynote speaker.  Other speakers include Queen Noor of Jordan, Queen Latifa, Bobby McFerrin, and Education Secretary Arne Duncan.
