Nomination Deadline for Three Picks Lists Approaches

Friday, July 9, is the deadline for nominations for three Book Sense Picks lists: September Book Sense Picks; Fall Children's Book Sense Picks; and the Banned Books Top Ten.

Book Sense will be producing the Banned Books Top Ten, timed to coincide with Banned Books Week 2004, set this year for September 25 - October 2. Bookstores nationwide will be participating in the event, now in its 23rd year. We hope a Book Sense Top Ten will be a central component of this year's Banned Books Week.

If you have any questions regarding titles that have been banned or challenged, there is a lot of helpful information at the American Library Association's Web site, www.ala.org. Click here to access ALA's "Challenged/Banned Books" page.

Nominations may be sent directly to Book Sense Picks Editor-in-Chief Dan Cullen at dan@booksense.com, or though an online nomination form at www.bookweb.org/read/6305.
