Almost Time for Award Announcements

Not like we all don't know it, but in a mere thirteen days, the children's book world's version of the Oscars will be announced in Boston at the ALA conference. An eager crowd of children's and YA folks- librarians, publishers, editors, booksellers, reviewers and book lovers - will hear the results of some very hard working committee deliberations. The Newbery! The Printz ! The Carnegie! The Siebert! The Coretta Scott King! And so much more! "Oooooh" she says with a frisson of delight.

But what's that? You can't be there on Monday morning January 18 in Boston at 7:45 am EST? No problemo. The whizzes at ALA, ALSC/YALSA et al have you covered. You can try catching the live webcast, or get live feeds using Facebook, Twitter or an RSS feed. Just stop by here to get the details and get set up for the fun!
