It's Annual Book & Media Award Time!

It's my favorite time of year again...when the American Library Association annually announces their book and media awards at their mid-winter meeting.  This is when all the big-name awards for children's and young adult literature are announced at a HUGE press conference where we learn which books win the Newbery Award, the Caldecott Award, teh Printz Award, and many others.  This is like the Academy Awards, but for librarians and the publishing world.  Did you know that you can view this press conference live?  All you've gotta do is go to: 2012 ALA Youth Media Awards for the LIVE webcast on Monday January 23rd, beginning at 5:30 a.m. Pacific Time!  You may also scroll down to the bottom of the previously mentioned link for a listing of all of the awards that will be announced.  I'm so excited!!!
