Happy Valentine's Day!
We love all our Connecticut Librarians and are happy to share with you today the TOP SECRET 2019 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, 2018.

If you would like to see the list, please follow this link and fill out the form https://goo.gl/forms/C36jHImS44upmjzi1

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

Please note that the Elementary 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, 2018. 

The 2019 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 the appropriate chairperson or visit the Nutmeg Book Award Website at http://nutmegaward.org Please note that the 2019 books will NOT be listed on the website until May 1, 2018.
