GEN: Newbery Committee

[Yapha Mason <Yapha_Mason@BWSCAMPUS.COM>]

Dear "Netters,

I would also like to extend my congratulations to Judy for NEXT year's Newbery
Committee.I am currently serving on this year's Newbery committee, for the
1999 medal. I am the only school librarian on this year's committe. Why?
Probably because I'm the only one that tried to get on it. The Newbery
committee is made up of ALSC members. If you are interested in being on it,
join that division of ALA (in addition to AASL, of course ;))

There is one chairperson and 14 committee members. Half the committee is
elected, the other half is appointed. I was one of the ones who were
appointed. I got myself appointed simply by e-mailing the president of ALSC in
the fall as she was appointing people and telling her about myself. They look
for a diversity of people. You, too, can serve on the Newbery committee!

In the meantime, if you have any suggestions for this year's award winner, I
would be happy to take them back to the rest of the committee. Remember
though, it's not for the most popular book, but for the "most distinguished
contribution to children's literature."

Thanks for listening,
Yapha

Subject: GEN : Weeding duplicates

Hi,
  I find that I generally have multiple copies of books on our state award
list (many of which I kept as free books from bookfairs) that rarely get
read once we move on to another list and I really have difficulty
discarding them (but they do take up shelf space - which I'm out of)
because they are generally excellent, recent, and in good condition.  What
I can't decide is whether to officially withdraw them and offer them to
teachers/students or check them out as "permanent loan" to a teacher and
keep them in the circ system (in case someone wants to do novel studies - I
dream a lot).  Suggestions?  What do you do with stuff like this?
