The Nutmeg Selection Committees are currently seeking students and librarians to help choose the 2021 Nutmeg Book Award Nominees!

These committees will start meeting in early 2019 and will work together through early 2020.

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. Thank you!
