[CASL-L] Reminder: Keep collecting votes for the 2020 Nutmeg Book Award!

[Polack, Lisa]

Good afternoon!
A reminder to keep collecting votes from your students for the 2020 Nutmeg
Book Award. Once you have them all collected, *please submit your totals by
Thursday, May 7th.* We are extending the original deadline 1 week to give
all libraries a chance to collect and submit the final votes. It gives a
few extra days for the straggler votes.

We understand that voting counts may be lower this year but members of the
Nutmeg Steering Committee (a mix of school and public librarians) don't
feel extending much longer than 1 week past April 30th will change these
results.

We have created google forms that you can copy and share with your students
to collect votes for your library. You'll find those links as well as the
links for you to submit your total votes here

(Link to Google Forms for voting
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zjSBBeUv3ng-wE-Es9mQCMrePZ5jGvWGR4zlY4Pes30/edit?usp=sharing>
).

Please submit by the new deadline, Thursday, May 7th so we can verify the
results and announce the winners on or by May 15th.

Thank you for your support of the Nutmeg Book Award!

Please let us know if you have any questions.
-Lisa

Subject: Almost Time to Vote! 2020 Nutmeg Book Award
To: CASL_L <casl-l at mylist.net>


It's almost time to start collecting votes for the 2020 Nutmeg Book Awards!

We understand a lot is up in the air right now. At this time, we are
opening voting as planned on April 1st.

Below is a link to Google Forms that can be used to collect votes
electronically from your students. We're guessing this might be the only
option for this year but we will still have paper copies available on our
website after April 1st https://www.nutmegaward.org/

*You'll need to MAKE A COPY *of these forms so you can personalize and
share with your students / patrons to collect votes for your library. *Please
do not share this exact link with voters. *

Voting is scheduled to close April 30th but we will consider the state of
schools and libraries towards the end of April and extend the deadline if
necessary. If we end voting on time, we anticipate announcing the results
on or by May 15th.

Once you have closed voting for your library,  please tally all your votes
and submit ONE response per library for each Nutmeg Award level.

We hope everyone enjoyed all the nominees this year!

For last minute reading, many of the nominees are available digitally
through the CT State Library https://iconnct.rbdigital.com/

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Health and Happiness
