From Ann Hoey:

Please encourage teens in grades 9-12 to continue to nominate titles for the 2015 Flume Award list (even as they are now reading books on the 2014 list!).

Teens can submit their suggestions online at this page:
http://yals.nhlibrarians.org/book-awards/flume/

Thank you for promoting the Flume Award!

Readers are needed to read and comment on titles nominated by teens for the 2015 Flume Award.
For a list of nominated titles and to post comments, visit http://flumeaward.wikispaces.com/
You’ll need to register to add comments.
Especially welcome is input in terms of whether you think the book will appeal to teens in grades 9-12, whether it appeals to boys and girls, and how it compares to other works of the same genre. If it’s part of a series, please say whether you think the book stands alone. Also, please let us know if you think it should or should not be on the “final 10″ nominated list.

Youth librarians are invited to attend a Children’s and Teen Book Review at the State Library in Concord next week: November 18 – 22.
Picture books as well as juvenile and teen fiction and nonfiction will be on display each day from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.
Librarians may visit anytime during their convenience to look over the books, read reviews, and select a few books for their library collections. The books will be sent via van after the Review ends.

The list of books available at the Review is now posted in NHU-PAC. You can find this list by going to Librarians’ Tools tab and then clicking on the Children’s Book Review link.

Contact Ann Hoey with any questions.
