Golden Sower, Youth Grants, and Mockingjay!
I hope you have already heard that the nominee lists for the 2011-2012 Golden Sower are now available on the Golden Sower web
page, click on “Nugget” then click on the booklists. Or you could go directly to:

There are still a few I need to read!
Another reminder: the Library Commission’s Youth Grants for Excellence are now available and are due on October 1, 2010. Go to the
Introduction and from there you can read about the requirements, criteria, etc., and scroll down to look at the application forms, the FAQ, the Application Evaluation Form, and more. Please contact me, if you have any questions.
I am about one fourth of the way through
Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins and am frustrated that I didn’t take today as a vacation day to relax at home and finish it. So far, I have every reason to believe it will be as good as I hoped. Katniss is recovering from her injuries from book two,
Catching Fire, and learning about District 13 and all that it holds.
(The Nebraska Library Commission receives free copies of children’s and young adult books for review from a number of publishers. After review, the books are distributed free to Nebraska school and public libraries.)
