ALSC will once again be collecting Mock Youth Media Award election results on its blog. We'll submit our Mock Newbery results on January 18 and our Mock Caldecott results on January 24. In the meantime, bookmark the ALSC results page and check back to see which books are getting the most love this year.

The Newbery, as well as the prestigious Caldecott, Printz, and Coretta Scott King Book Award winners, will be announced on Monday, February 12 at 8:00 a.m. ET at the ALA Midwinter Meeting in Denver, Colorado. Watch the awards live via the ALA Youth Media Awards webcast.

Our Mock Newbery Goodreads group will be revived in February with a monthly read-along. Each month we'll pick a book published in 2018 to read and virtually discuss in preparation for creating our first 2019 reading list. February's book is A Dash of Trouble by Anna Mariano. Not part of the Mock Newbery Goodreads group? Join now! Have a book to suggest for a future read-along? Let me know!
