[LM_NET] SHARE: ALSC Members: Caldecott Suggestion Request

[Genevieve Gallagher <ggallagher@K12ALBEMARLE.ORG>]

This announcement is directed to ALSC members on the LM-NET list.  I am
posting this message on behalf of Gratia Banta, chair of the current
Caldecott Award Committee.  Thanks for responding to her at the address
below, not to the LM-NET list or to me.

This message will be posted to several lists so please excuse any
duplication.

**************************************************************************
INPUT FOR THE NEXT ALSC / RANDOLPH CALDECOTT MEDAL

The 2006 Caldecott Award Committee asks Association for Library Services to
Children members to submit titles for consideration.  The Caldecott Award is
presented annually to the illustrator of the most distinguished American
picture book for children published in the preceding year.  The books under
consideration by this committee are those with a 2005 publication date.

"Distinguished" is defined as:
  a.. marked by eminence and distinction: noted for
significant achievement
  b.. marked by excellence in quality
  c.. marked by conspicuous excellence or eminence
  d.. individually distinct.
The award will be announced at a press conference during the ALA Midwinter
Conference in San Antonio, Texas in January 2006.  The award will be
presented at the Newbery/Caldecott Banquet at the ALA Conference in New
Orleans in June 2006.

The committee invites ALSC members to submit titles for consideration.
Please remember that these suggestions should be for a work originally
published  in the United States in the 2005 publishing year and whose artist
is a citizen or resident of the United States.

Please send suggestions to Gratia Banta, Caldecott Committee Chair,  at:
GJB@gratiaarts.com
