*The Nutmeg Selection Committees are currently seeking students and
librarians to help choose the 2023 Nutmeg Book Award Nominees!*



These committees will start meeting in early 2021 and will work together
through early 2022. The nominee list you will create will be voted on in
April 2023.

We encourage librarians and students from libraries in a variety of
settings to apply. We would love to have committees that represent the wide
diversity that we find in our readers.

Please forward this email to anyone who fits the criteria and who might be
interested.
