Each year the CCBC staff hosts book discussions designed to examine a few of the books eligible for various national awards.
We spend some time talking about the purpose and criteria for each award, and about what causes a book to be either eligible or ineligible for the award. We also talk about the balloting method the actual committee uses.
We then discuss several books, using CCBC Book Discussion Guidelines, and after that we ballot, using the method we discussed earlier.
The participants usually include graduate and undergraduate students, area school library media specialists, public librarians, and - occasionally - faculty members, writers, artists, reviewers, publishers, booksellers.
There's still time for you to join others during the next two weeks in the Elizabeth Burr Conference Room of the CCBC for the CCBC Sibert, King, and Printz Award Discussions.
Complete discussion lists and other details about each evening can be found on the CCBC web site. Visit "What's New?" and then scroll down: http://www.education.wisc.edu/ccbc/new.htm
