The 2009 Newbery Award Committee would like to hear from you. Please send suggestions to rose.trevino@cityofhouston.net and I’ll share suggestions with the committee. The 2009 Newbery Committee will review books with a 2008 copyright. Thanks in advance for any suggestions sent! For award criteria, please visit the ALSC Website –>Awards & Grants –>ALSC Book & Media Awards–>Newbery Medal–>Newbery Terms & Criteria. Thanks again! Rose Rose V.
