Finally, next year's Book Award nominee lists will be posted to the listserv as soon as possible. We had to wait until the Newbery and Caldecott Medal announcements (which were on Monday, January 10th). Following that announcement, the nominee lists were finalized and sent to the SCASL Executive Board for approval. Either Jennifer Kauffman or I will post these nominees as soon as we possibly can, and we appreciate your patience.

2009-2010 Book Award Winners

Picture Book Award - Wolf's Coming! by Joe Kulka
Children's Book Award - Swindle by Gordon Korman
Junior Book Award - Schooled by Gordon Korman
Young Adult Book Award -  Thirteen Reasons Why: A Novel by Jay Asher

The Book Award Committees are made up of a cross section of media specialists, teachers, students, parents, administrators, public librarians, and college or university representatives. These individuals commit themselves for three years during which time they annually formulate the SCASL Book Award Program book lists. In order to accomplish this they must each read 100-250 titles each year which are then discussed and evaluated at regular meetings. It is their efforts which afford you each year's carefully selected reading list in each category: picture books, children, junior, and young adult. Media specialists, teachers, and students owe them a big vote of thanks!
