Hello YSS members!

Are you an adult who loves reading children's and teen books? Would you like to critically discuss excellent youth books with your peers? If so, please consider applying for WLA's Burr/Worzalla Children's Book Award Committee (CBAC)! The CBAC annually bestows the Burr/Worzalla Award and Notable Children's Author/Illustrator Award upon Wisconsin's best and brightest book creators.  https://www.wisconsinlibraries.org/childrens-book-awards-committee

The CBAC is looking to fill 4 vacant committee seats starting in 2023. The committee will meet (likely virtually) three times during the Spring of 2023 to deliberate and decide. If you are interested, please review the committee duties and submit the following via email to YSS Chair Claire Parrish, claireparrish@ricelakegov.org:

• Name, Job Title, Library, and City

• Are you a current member of WLA and YSS?

• Please describe your professional library work experience, including any reviewing        experience and/or WLA committee work.

• Please detail your reading preferences, including any areas of special interest.

• Why should we consider you for a position on this committee?

Applications are due by 11:59pm on Friday, October 14. 

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact the CBA Committee Chair, Briony Zlomke, briony.zlomke@mcfls.org. 

The CBAC is a great way to meet new friends, read new books, and be a part of one of the coolest committees on the planet!

Thanks for considering!
