Mock Book Awards Judging Workshops

Participants will discuss the entire book award list (released October 14), apply skills from the 101 sessions, and take part in a complete mock book awards judging, including picking a winner at the end. Each award will have a virtual hybrid session for those unable to make it in-person. RSVP for the link.

During the month of January, each library system will offer a in-person, four-hour workshop on each award.
