ACPL Mock Awards

It happens every January, just before the American Library Association announces its prestigious awards for the most distinctive children's books published in the previous year. A group of librarians, teachers, parents and other adults interested in quality children's literature, meet to discuss and decide which books we would like to honor with our mock awards. All year, the group offers opinions and suggestions on our Mock Award Blogs. Please join the discussion!
--Adults interested in children's literature
