For your convenience throughout the month, we encourage you to print out this schedule containing dates and book titles.
1) JANUARY, 2000
JANUARY 1 - 16: 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" on October 14, 1999, the five 1999 NBA nominees were: 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). The winner of the 1999 National Book Award in the Children's Literature category is "When Zachary Beaver Came to Town."
JANUARY 17: Winners of the American Library Association Book Awards will be announced on this date on CCBC-Net, after which the CCBC-Net community will have its very popular annual discussion of the winners and honor books. The awards include: Caldecott, Newbery, Coretta Scott King and Michael Printz Awards (see below). They also include the Pura Belpre Award (outstanding Latino literature for children and young adults as written by Latino/a authors and artists during the preceding two years), and Mildred Batchelder Award (outstanding translated books). Winners of the latter two awards will discussed in March.
