[CASL-L] Nutmeg Timing

[Lynch, Joyce]

I am just curious how others feel about the change to the timing of the
Nutmeg announcement and voting.

Our school uses the Nutmegs for our summer reading program; and I've always
appreciated how there has been enough time to order the needed titles, read
them, and booktalk them before the end of the school year. In addition to
the 5 copies of each title that our library purchases, the LA department
buys 10 copies of each title as well. Those are loaned out to the public
library to ensure that students have access to the the books throughout the
summer.

Now, I am very concerned that there will not be enough time and we will
have to totally revamp our summer reading program.

If this change remains, instead of our school buying 15 copies of each
title, we will only buy 1 copy.

I'd like to hear what others think. Do you think this is timing change will
have a positive or a negative effect on summer reading in general and the
Nutmegs specifically?

Thanks,
