The ALSC/Robert F. Sibert Informational Book Award Committee is asking the ALSC membership to submit titles for consideration. The Sibert Award is given annually to the author of the most distinguished informational book published during the preceding year. Informational books are defined as those written and illustrated to present, organize, and interpret documentable factual material for children from birth to age fourteen. (Poetry and traditional literature are not eligible.) Authors must be U.S. citizens. For other terms and criteria, please refer to the ALSC website. Only informational books from the 2004 publishing year are under consideration for this award. The award will be announced at the Press Conference during the ALA Midwinter Conference in Boston in January, 2005. The award will be presented at the ALSC membership meeting during the ALA Annual Conference in Chicago in June, 2005.
