And the winner is?

The movie award season started this weekend with the Golden Globes. Were you surprised by any of the winners?

Books have an award season, too. ALA begins the annual literary award season when it hands out several prestigious awards at the mid-winter meeting. Librarians were on the edge of their seats awaiting the news release on January 10th.

If you want to find out more about book award winners, check out NoveList K-8 in GALILEO.

Across the top of NoveList in the blue bar, select More, and then Awards.

There are hundreds of awards listed in alphabetical order including the 3 Georgia Children's Book Awards (Children's Book for ages 9-12, Picture Storybook, and Teen Reader). When you click on the award, NoveList K-8 takes you to the list of titles by year for that specific award. You then may click on an individual title to get the complete NoveList K-8 treatment!

Get the password to use GALILEO from your Georgia librarian.
