What books are in contention for the upcoming Newbery/Caldecott, etc. Awards?
The discussions and deliberations of ALSC’s Award Committees are confidential. Therefore, these committees do not share information about which titles they are discussing and do not make public the books that are in contention. The one exception to the above rule is the Notable Children’s Books Committee. Their discussions at conference are open meetings and they announce the list of books that constitute their “discussion list” before each conference. Upcoming discussion lists are posted before each conference on our Web site. Click here to visit the ALSC Notables site.
