Internet

I chose the American Library Association, but I used another link within which was the Association for Library Service to Children. The ALSC is the world's largest organization dedicated to the support and enhancement of library service to children. ALSC's network includes more than 4200 children's and youth librarians, children's literature experts, publishers, education and library school faculty members,and other adults dedicated to creating a better future for children through libraries.
It was through this link that I was able to find pertinent information over the criteria of award winning books and even the criteria for the individual awards given to books.Being a new mom I think has pointed me in this direction especially since we have been getting tons of books.
