And.....GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

The nominations for the 2015 Cybils awards are now open!

Go to http://www.cybils.com/2015/10/the-2015-cybils-are-open.html to nominate!

I'm normally one of the first to nominate, but organizationally, I may hang to the back this year. This has benefits as well, since I can nominate books that AREN'T nominated by someone else but which I think are deserving.

2015 Nominations by category:

• Book Apps

• Easy Readers and Early Chapter Books

• Elementary/Middle-Grade Nonfiction

• Elementary/Middle-Grade Speculative Fiction

• Fiction Picture Books

• Graphic Novels

• Middle-Grade Fiction

• Poetry

• Young Adult Fiction

• Young Adult Nonfiction

• Young Adult Speculative Fiction

Since I'll be organizing Middle Grade Fiction but reading for Young Adult Nonfiction, I am REALLY looking forward to seeing the nominations. 

With Kidlitcon coming up next week and my teacher evaluation coming up right after that, though, I am a little distracted. This morning, I actually had to answer the following question, which I am very proud to say I managed to do WITHOUT referencing my new Level 2 Profession Magical Unicorn status:

"How will safety in the classroom be ensured?"

"The physical and emotional environment of the library will be organized to be free of impedimenta."
