Hi Everyone!
Voting opens today for 2020 Nutmeg Awards! 
Voting is scheduled to close on April 30 but we will reassess at the end of the month and extend the window if needed. 

Follow this link for all the forms you will need, including paper ballots if we're able to get into our libraries before the voting window closes. 
Link to Forms for voting 

The Google Forms for collecting individual votes are now view only so you will be prompted to make your own copy when you click on those links. 

Please let me know if you have any questions!

For those of you who requested the 2021 titles, we are finalizing our materials for the change to the 2021 Intermediate list and will be sending a separate email by the end of the week. 
 
Take care!

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
