Book Club met and discussed book awards. The 2011 winner of the Newbery Award was announced by the American Library Association at the Midwinter Meeting. Clare Vanderpool was awarded the Newbery for Moon Over Manifest, considered the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children.
The Michigan Reading Association announced the 2010-2011 winners of the Great Lakes Great Books award. The sixth, seventh, and eighth grade winner is Scat by Carl Hiaasen. Copies of both titles were already on the shelves in both middle school libraries before the announcements were made. Book Club members will prepare and submit book reviews on books they have been reading. Book reviews will be posted here on the Media Blog to celebrate March Reading Month.
