2011 NEWBERY AWARD CLUB
The 2011 Club is starting right now! Discuss books here. The final banquet/meeting will be sometime in January 2012. You have to have read at least 8 books from the list in order to be invited to the January 2012 final banquet/meeting. We will consider all books published in 2011, originally written in English, for children up to 14 years of age, by authors who live in the United States or who are US citizens. We will have Preliminary (Nomination/Elimination) meetings every Friday at first lunch and second lunches so that everyone can get to the meetings. Come at your regular lunchtime - either bring a bag lunch or go over to the caf and buy one! Meet in the Library Seminar Room. You must attend at least 6 Preliminary meetings to be invited to the final banquet/meeting in January. The actual Newbery winners will be announced in January 2012!
PRELIMINARY READING LIST - We own most of these books. At least two people must nominate a title before it can be placed on this list (except Ms. Woodward - she may nominate anything to this list!) To see how people voted so far, Click Here.
Newbery Award Criteria- We will discuss these more thoroughly at our first meeting!
