1) NOVEMBER, 1999: "Pottermania!" With the U.S publication in September of the third volume in the series by J.K. Rowling, the Harry Potter phenomenon continues to grow.
This month we'll discuss the first three volumes: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone; Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" and
"Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" (U.S. editions: Arthur A. Levine Books / Scholastic Press).
And - we'll discuss the phenomenon. Kathleen Horning will facilitate the discussion. Part of Katy's personal collection of Harry Potter editions from nations other than the U.S.A. is now on exhibit in the CCBC.
2) DECEMBER, 1999: "Your Favorites of 1999" This is a popular annual CCBC-Net discussion during which people tell about their favorite books published during this current year.
Start making your lists. There's room and time for everyone who wants to "step up to the CCBC-Net mike" and tell why you or the children or teenagers you know especially enjoy or admire a particular "new" book.
Katy Horning and Ginny Moore Kruse will facilitate this discussion.
3) JANUARY 1 - 16, 2000: The 1999 National Book Award "Young People's Literature" Award winner will be announced during the middle of November. During these two January weeks, we'll discuss the winner and the four other nominees.
During 1999, the CCBC-Net community has already discussed two of the nominees in other ways, and it's possible that all of them will be listed once or many times during the December discussion of
"favorites." We're not worried about that, because we know that many in the CCBC-Net community have not yet read any of these nominated books or shared their comments within the CCBC-Net community.
As listed in the New York Times (10/14/99), the five 1999 NBA nominees are: 1) "The Birchbark House" by Louise Erdrich (Hyperion); 2) "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson (Farrar); 3) "When Zachary Beaver Came to Town" by Kimberly Willis Holt (Henry Holt); 4) "The Trolls" by Polly Horvath (Henry Holt); and 5) "Monster" by Walter Dean Myers"
(HarperCollins).
4) BEGINNING ON JANUARY 17, 2000: Winners of the American Library Association Book Awards will be announced on this date: Caldecott
(illustration); Newbery (writing for children); Batchelder (translated books); Coretta Scott King (books with African American themes/topics illustrated and written by African American artists and authors); Pura Belpre (books with Latino themes/topics illustrated and written by Latino artists and authors); and the first Michael Printz Award
(writing for young adults). CCBC-Net will post an announcement of the winners on this date. The CCBC-Net community will launch its popular annual ALA Book Awards Discussions by looking first at the books named as the 2000 Caldecott Winner and Caldecott Honor Books.
