The Cybil Awards and the American Library Association’s Awards (including Caldecott, Newbery, Notable Lists, and many more) for 2009 have been announced.
The list keeps growing for the ALA. They have audio and video awards also. I particularly appreciate the Notable Lists. Of the Newbery’s, the only one that sounds interesting to me is The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, which I have been intending to read.
I’ve only read a few of the books from both award groups. So, I’m looking forward to some good reading this spring, including some of those waiting on my shelf.
A note about dates: the Cybils use the year published, the ALA uses the year awarded.
