Monarch Library System Hosting Mock Elections for Caldecott, Newbery & Printz Awards 2019

You're invited! Join youth library staff from Monarch Library System, school library colleagues and other library staff serving youth at this exciting one day event.

I've already started my reading and invited my local school library colleagues. Ashley Pike, one of the hosting library's staff, has invited hers. Please consider joining us and inviting your local counterparts, too. If you are interested in attending, please try to register by Monday, November 19.

If you can't make it, the list of titles for consideration makes a great collection development tool. More details including the schedule, information on how to register, and booklists can be accessed here.

Public librarians, school librarians, teachers or educators from the area are invited to read the books prior to December 7th and then meet to discuss the books. We will vote and pick our very own winners!

There are six tables with 10 books assigned to each table. I will make every attempt to accommodate your first table choice, but may have to assign you to another table in order to have all the books read.

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 either medal and we will have some sharing time at the end.

To register for this event, please email Debbie Olguin, Youth Services Librarian, at debbie.olguin@mcfls.org. Please include your 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice for your table assignment.
