More information about the Coretta Scott King Awards can be found at: http://www.ala.org/srrt/csking/index.html The 2002 Awards will be announced on Martin Luther King Day, which is on Monday morning, January 21. The awards will be announced during the American Library Association Conference in New Orleans.
BACKGROUND ON CCBC BOOK DISCUSSIONS IN GENERAL Each year the CCBC staff hosts book discussions designed to examine a few of the books eligible for various national awards. The discussion list doesn't begin to represent the possiblities.
The complete list of books discussed can be found at: http://www.education.wisc.edu/ccbc/awards/csk.htm
We always 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 discussed earlier.
