This is a message from Helene Charmillon-Pohl, a Wisconsin high school librarian who is now a graduate student in the UW-Madison School of Library and Information Studies and a part time CCBC student employee. As you will read, Helene became so involved in searching for information about the "Totem Prix" that she continued to search after she left the CCBC yesterday! We thank her for this, and we're glad we could make it possible for her to have an "evening in France!" Ginny: Here is what I gleaned from my evening search. This has been great fun, a virtual evening in France! Unfortunately, I have not (yet) been able to find out the 1998 award winners.
