The Children's Literature Council currently produces two annual events: the Spring Workshop and the Fall Gala.

FALL GALA
The annual Fall Gala features a reception honoring Southern California authors and illustrators of books for children and young adults as well as a distinguished speaker. The Council also presents AWARDS at the Fall Gala to Southern California authors and illustrators in categories that reflect the most outstanding books published in the previous year. The Council may also present
the Dorothy C. McKenzie Award for a distinguished contribution in the field of children's literature and the Myra Cohn Livingston Award for Poetry.
