One position on the Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee is available beginning
January 1, 2015.
Applicants should be members of AJL, familiar with the scope of Judaic
children’s literature, experienced in writing critical reviews, willing and
able to read and review over 120 books during the course of a year, and able to
meet deadlines.
Committee members are expected to attend annual conventions and to participate
in Committee-sponsored events, including speaking at the Committee’s annual
presentation. The term of membership on the Committee is four years. Each
Committee member typically receives more than $1,500 in books for review each
year, which may be kept for personal use or added to the member’s library.
Membership on the Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee is both fun and
intellectually challenging, but it also requires a substantial commitment in
terms of time and energy.
Members must be able to submit reviews electronically and correspond with other
committee members through regular e-mail. Familiarity with Google Docs is
helpful but not required.
To apply, send a letter indicating the reasons for your interest, a resume, and
several examples of your recent reviews of Jewish children’s books to Diane
Rauchwerger, Committee Chair, at ch...@sydneytaylorbookaward.org or
mls4...@sbcglobal.net.
Applications will be accepted through February 27, 2015.
