[CASL-L] Shhh! It's the 2020 Nutmeg Nominees!

[Polack, Lisa]

Happy Valentine's Day!
We love all our Connecticut Librarians and are happy to share with you
today the TOP SECRET 2020 Nutmeg Nominees!

These lists are available to CONNECTICUT SCHOOL MEDIA SPECIALISTS and
CONNECTICUT PUBLIC LIBRARIANS ONLY for planning and purchasing.

Please, PLEASE don't share it with the general public (students, parents,
teachers, bookstores, salespeople who aren't sponsors, etc.) until MAY 1,
2019.

*If you would like to see the list, please follow this link and fill out
the form **https://goo.gl/forms/fVlZl72g0KvgRmx92
<https://goo.gl/forms/fVlZl72g0KvgRmx92> *

*Once you complete the form, you will see a link to the lists. You will not
receive a separate email with the lists. *

Thanks to all of you who do so much to make this award the amazing success
it continues to be!

*A few things to note:*

   - There is a name change effective with the 2020 awards: The Teen level
   award is now Middle School 7-8.
   - The Elementary 2-3 level now focuses on students in grades 2-3 (no
   longer overlapping with the Intermediate 4-6 level)
   -
*The Intermediate 4-6 list is awaiting confirmation of one title. This
   title will be on the list, but please note that it is subject to change. We
   will let you know as soon as it is confirmed. *
   - The full color flyers will be available by March 1st. Save the link we
   send you and we will add them to the same document once they are ready.
   - The Elementary 2-3 list contains books available in hardcover, since
   they are intended as "shareable length titles." ALL the books for the other
   three levels will be available in paperback on or before May 1, 2019.


The 2020 Selection Chairs want to thank all their committee members (more
than 50 Connecticut Librarians and Media Specialists, plus student readers)
for the intense hard work it took to read more than 350 well reviewed
titles from which these lists were selected.

If you have any further questions, please contact one of the
steering committee co-chairs listed below.

*2018- 2019 Steering Committee Co-Chairs:*

Lisa Polack
