I have noted on my calendar to do something for this…next year. I’ve been trying to get everything together, but…May? Really? While I am girding my loins for the summer reading program?

However, my neighboring small librarian has come up with a brilliant and hassle free idea (Yep, I’m talking about YOU Sara the Librarian!) She has a poster contest, kids make posters of their favorite books, turn them in, she picks her favorites, ahem, makes an impartial decision, prizes are distributed, and all are happy. We will try it next year. Maybe have kids make a poster of their favorite of the CBC finalists…

Betsy, sounds like it’s quite fun up in your head;-) There’s a party going on right there. Great post and I too can’t wait to see the Hewitt video (but I’ll tell you up front that I am a bit biased though since my 2 daughters go there)! I will share your post on FB – love it.

Great post, Betsy. I’m going to post something on my website about Children’s Book Week as well. It’s exciting. My six year old cast his vote this morning and he loved seeing favorite books of his in the running. I’m also looking forward to seeing the video being produced by Hewitt. That will be awesome.

I will try to get the word out, if only in my house. What fun that kids get to vote for their favorite books!

“When I am Ambassador…” is the best way to start a sentence. You have my vote! I like the Book Week Web site, too!

I love it (and I love old Book Week posters), but I’m having a hard time finding where on the Children’s Book Week site to actually cast a vote, so I can give my kiddo the voting link.

I’ve already got my party planned! All of the branches here do a CBW party, last year we did a wimpy kid party, and this year we are doing a three little pigs party!
