The ALA Youth Media Awards are way more exciting to me than the Oscars (or pretty much any movie or music award). They‘re live NOW and the Newbery and Caldecott haven‘t been announced yet!! 📚😍📚😍📚 If you can watch, there‘s a live webcast right now! http://ala.unikron.com/2018/live.php

Peddler410 I‘ve tried to do this before but I have never been able to track down all of the very early titles. 7y

youngreadrshelf @Peddler410 we might be able to pass them along-type thing. I know many are hard to find. 7y

Looking for a challenge for 2018, join me for the #Newberychallenge. Read all the Newbery Award winners from 1922 until today. Will be posting more info soon as I get things worked out.

toofondofbooks Fun! I've been working my way through Newbery books for several years. I'm also about halfway through collecting copies of all winners and honors. 7y

youngreadrshelf @toofondofbooks I've read quite a few (being a teacher of that age group), but I wanted to really get them all in so I thought a challenge with others would help. 7y

Lmstraubie This sounds wonderful! 7y

youngreadrshelf @Lmstraubie going to try it. Sometimes I just need a little inspiration. 7y

@bookriot #riotgrams Day 7 #mypubliclibrary I confess I don't go often enough. I have such fond memories of the library as a child. #Chattanooga has a gorgeous book fountain outside of the downtown branch.
