Long time, no see! Hope things are going well over in North Central Austin! I am writing because APL is hosting a Mock Newbery and Mock Printz Discussion in December and January, respectively, and we would like to open it up to CTLS members. We will have about 15 spots available in each class. A participant would be expected to read and be prepared to discuss a list of books (ten titles for the Newbery, and eight titles for the Printz.) On Monday, we will be finalizing the reading list, and I can send you a complete list along with the class descriptions. The Mock Newbery will take place on Monday, December 14th, 9:00am - 12:00pm at the University Hills Branch, and the Mock Printz will take place on Monday, January 11th, 9:00am - 12:00pm at the Manchaca Road Branch. I don't think this will appeal to all librarians, but for those who are big readers and are starved for opportunities to discuss books in a professional setting, this will be just the thing! If you are interested in having these discussions opened to CTLS members, please let me know and I'll send you more details.
