The Nutmeg Book Award Selection Committees are still looking for librarian and student volunteers!
I know students are often procrastinators, but as of today we’ve received just a few Intermediate & Teen Student Reader Applications and ZERO applications for the High School application. Please ask around and
share the application with any students you think would be great for one of the committees.
We also need more adults. With four levels to the book award, we need more volunteers than ever. Please consider applying to be part of the process to choose the Nutmeg Book Award nominees. I won’t lie, it is
a lot of work but SO rewarding!
All the info is listed in the message below.
Applications are due DECEMBER 15th
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!
