Congratulations to Walter Dean Myers, author of numerous books, who was named the new National Ambassador for Young People's Literature by the Library of Congress.
“Reading is not optional” is Myer's platform. He is being inaugurated today, January 10, 2012.
Duke School’s media center has over 25 of his titles, including
fiction, non-fiction, poetry, series fiction and biographies.
Titles you may recognize include Fallen Angels, Monster, and Riot.
Take a look at some of his other books, too: Sunrise over Fallujah; Slam!; The greatest: Muhammed Ali; Darnell Rock reporting; and Harlem: a poem.
Wondering what his books are like?
His work often is described as realistic and gritty.
Learn more Mr. Myers on his website.
