Over the next two months we will discuss each of the ALA 2006 children's and young adult literature awards in turn. We plan on keeping to a tight schedule so we can get through each of the awards in a 2-month period. Each discussion will start on a Wednesday.
We still welcome your general announcements at the beginning of each month, but we will also be starting a discussion thread on the first of each month as well. So please make sure any messages you post are clearly labeled in the subject line with either our discussion topic
(award name) or your announcement subject.
