For the Mock Printz, there are 3 tables with 5 books assigned to each table.

For the Mock Newbery/Caldecott there are 6 tables with 10 books assigned to each table. You choose your table.

Every attempt will be made to accommodate your first table choice, but you may be assigned to another table in order to facilitate discussion of all titles.

Each table will have a captain who will take notes from the table discussion and share those thoughts with the whole group. Please feel free to bring other books that you believe may be worthy contenders for any of the medals and there will be some sharing time at the end.

For a complete listing of the books to be discusssed at each table and to register for this event, please email Keri Whitmore, YA Librarian, at keri.miller@mcfls.org. Please include your name, library, Mock Printz and/or Mock Newbery & Caldecott sessions and your 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice for your table assignment for both sessions. Registration deadline is Monday, Jan. 2nd.
