Oprah and Jackson Rathbone headline a star-studded new Graphics catalog

The bright stars of movies and television join the Celebrity READ® campaign, and imaginative stories from a variety of genres take shape in new products that inspire reading, all featured in the new ALA Graphics winter catalog.

A longtime champion of reading, Oprah Winfrey rejoins Celebrity READ for a record third poster. Actor Jackson Rathbone makes his debut in the READ campaign as he continues his role as Jasper Hale in November’s hotly anticipated Twilight Saga conclusion, "Breaking Dawn – Part 1."

To celebrate the upcoming 3-D film Hugo, in theaters November 23rd, ALA Graphics is offering movie products that promote stories as the key to adventure. Directed by Martin Scorsese, Hugo is based on the Caldecott Medal-winning novel, “The Invention of Hugo Cabret.”

Classic and contemporary picture books are at home together in the new catalog. Ezra Jack Keats’s "The Snowy Day," cherished by readers since 1962, joins the likes of "Goodnight Moon" and "George and Martha" in the Timeless Treasures collection of posters and bookmarks. Mo Willems’ Pals—Elephant, Piggie, and Pigeon—come together on a poster and bookmark in celebration of reading. All ages will be drawn to the fantastical Take Time to Read poster and bookmark, inspired by the steampunk fantasy, "Return of the Dapper Men," written by Jim McCann and illustrated by Janet Lee.

New National Library Week, School Library Month, Teen Tech Week and Choose Privacy Week products for 2012 also make their debut, featuring eye-catching artwork on posters, bookmarks and digital downloads.

As the weather cools, the newly designed Tea Cup makes a perfect companion for long winter nights and is a perfect gift for friends, co-workers, staff and volunteers during the holiday season.
