Return to: Spain Settlers have migrated to Spain from Europe, Africa, and the Mediterranean since the dawn of history. The Phoenicians, who came in the 8th century B.C., called the peninsula "Span," or hidden land. By the first century B.C. the Romans had conquered Spain. Spain became mostly Christian under the Romans, who were followed by the Vandals and the Visigoths, Germanic peoples from Europe.

Building Community and Literacy: One Book, One School Program Guest post by Maureen Doyle Kemmett Compelled to increase literacy skills in students and build a stronger school culture, our leadership team at Furnace Brook Middle School (FBMS) in Marshfield, MA, initiated a One Book, One School (OBOS) program in 2013. After spending the better part of a school year forming a literacy committee, researching OBOS programs, and planning for the kickoff, we were off and running with our inaugural OBOS summer reading program. Now five years later, it has become an integral part of our school, improving student literacy and building a strong and positive community.

At that same moment, scores of librarians attending ALA's Midwinter Meeting — this year it’s in Philadelphia — will be lining up to get a good seat at the press conference where the winners are announced. It's the most highly anticipated event of the year in the children's book world. Winning an ALA Youth Media Award often translates into a bump in sales for the winning titles and a flurry of press and media attention for the book's author. The awards serve as a time-honored guide for parents and educators interested in providing children and teens the very best books and media.
