Just a reminder that you MUST be a current member of NJLA in order to be part of the YA Section and to be a reader for the Garden Sate Teen Book Awards . . .

The good news is that it's a great time to renew or create your membership in the New Jersey Library Association! It's super easy (you can register online), and you're automatically entered into a raffle drawing for a number of benefits. Find out more here: http://njla.org/content/njla-membership-promotion

Readers should sign up and mark down the titles they've already read on the Google Spreadsheet included in the original email by this THURSDAY, October 31. All nominations should also be in by this date so that there is enough time to finalize the list and make reading assignments by our next YA Section meeting on November 8.

Thanks to all participating. If non-members have any questions, please shoot us an email this week!

Hello everyone-

My name is Katie Bojanek and I'm a member at large for the NJLA YA Section.  Every year, we organize the Garden State Teen Books Awards during which we read and discuss books to go on next year's ballot.  This ballot is then voted on by teens in the state, with winners announced the following year.  

We are now asking for anyone who would like to be a GSTBA reader for the awards to email myself (kboj...@sclibnj.org) or Katie Llera (Kati...@gmail.com), who is the other member at large.  The responsibility of a reader is the read the books assigned to them from the long list of potential nominees and be prepared to discuss it at our upcoming meetings or by e-mail. Each reader will be assigned approximately 4-5 books from each ballot category and must be prepared to discuss them at deliberations, the dates for which are listed below.   The long list of nominees can be found here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlI0BSlizDnpdGdwNGVUaGNVcnN5dGstVEVnYzhLWVE&usp=sharing
 
If you have read a title, please write your full first and last name next to it in Column A.  Please be careful not to write over other information in the spreadsheet, you can use CTL + Z to undo.  You can also e-mail the list of books you have read to me or Katie Llera.

If there is an additional title you would like to nominate that is not on the list, you can do so here:
https://docs.google.com/a/piscatawaylibrary.org/forms/d/1y8Dv-SAKAr1W8D8BiDx2y0hx4gM0kYCR3ShR_O8aoM0/viewform.

The deadline for reader sign ups and for field nominations is Thursday, October 31 with reader assignments handed out at our YA Section Meeting on Friday, November 8 at South Brunswick Public Library.

Here is our schedule to GSTBA deliberations:
Fiction Grades 6-8: Friday, January 17, 2014
Fiction Grades 9-12: Friday, March 7 2014
Nonfiction: Friday, April 11 2014

All meetings are at South Brunswick Library at start at 9:30 am.  If you have any other questions, feel free to e-mail me.

Thanks,
