Thanks, everybody, for posting the results of your mock award

discussions. It's interesting to see what has been discussed and chosen

-- and how little clear consensus there seems to be around the nation.

I think that more than anything else, this is an indication of what a

great year 2008 has been for children's and YA books. We have so many

outstanding books to choose from! From recent news, we know that our

colleagues in the publishing world are struggling and we know we can no

longer take these excellent books for granted.

 

The actual awards will be announced next Monday morning in Denver,

beginning at 7:45 MT. You can watch the announcements live through

streaming video at http://ala.unikron.com/ Full information about

finding out about the winners is on the ALA website at:

http://www.ala.org/ala/newspresscenter/news/pressreleases2008/december20 08/youthmediaawardsannouncement.cfm

 

Once the awards are announced, we invite you to offer your responses on

CCBC-Net.

 

Happy reading!

 

KT
