Position Responsibilities

I am responsible for the organization and operation of the Curriculum Materials Center of the MSU Moorhead Library.  The Curriculum Materials Center (CMC) is a special unit within the library providing materials and assistance to students and faculty of the Teacher Education programs at MSU Moorhead.
Included in the CMC collection are textbooks, media materials, kits, CDs, curriculum bulletins/activity books, and juvenile literature.

Read Aloud Book Awards
The CMC sponsors and coordinates the Comstock Reading Aloud Initiative which supports two Read Aloud Book Awards: Comstock Read Aloud Book Award is an annual award for the best read aloud picture book for older children (ages 9-12). Wanda Gág Read Aloud Book Award is an annual award for the best read aloud picture book for younger children (toddlers to age 8). 

Please call, e-mail, or stop by if you have questions or suggestions about  the CMC.
