Kruse Retires

Directed the Cooperative Children's Book Center

Staff -- School Library Journal, 10/1/2002

Ginny Moore Kruse retired in August as director of the Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC) of the School of Education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. CCBC is a noncirculating examination, study, and research library for adults with an interest in children's literature. Kruse had been CCBC's director since 1976.

In 1997, she founded CCBC's Intellectual Freedom Information Service to provide information about books challenged in Wisconsin. As a result, Kruse and her staff received the Wisconsin Library Association/SIRS Intellectual Freedom Award. In 1997, Kruse was also the recipient of the ALA/AASL-SIRS Intellectual Freedom Award.

Kruse, a former teacher and school and public librarian, also helped create the Charlotte Zolotow Award, given to the author of the best picture book text.
