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!
