Just a reminder that tomorrow is the day that the winners of the ALA Youth Media Awards will be announced at ALA Midwinter in Dallas.
ALA will host a live webcast of the event, beginning at 7:30am CT.
I can't wait to hear the winners, and hope I've read them all. Next week, I'm planning a storytime based on Caldecott Medal winners. I'm hoping to share the winner with my storytime crowd (unless, of course, its a behemoth like The Invention of Hugo Cabret - you never know)
While you're waiting for the winners to be announced, feel free to enjoy this video which "captures Newbery Award-Winning authors Virginia Hamilton and Jean Craighead George talking about how those awards (for Julie of the Wolves and M.C. Higgins The Great respectively) changed their lives."

Tomorrow is also Nonfiction Monday and the roundup will be here.
