Nomination Deadline for Three Picks Lists Next Week

There is still time to nominate titles for three upcoming Book Sense Picks lists: the September Book Sense Picks, Fall Children's Book Sense Picks, and the Banned Books Top Ten. The deadline for nominations for all three lists is Friday, July 9.

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

This is the first time that Book Sense will be producing the Banned Books Top Ten, and pads will be sent to stores in time for the celebration of Banned Books Week, set this year for September 25 - October 2.

The American Library Association's Web site, www.ala.org, includes a lot of helpful information about banned and challenged books. To access ALA's "Challenged/Banned Books" Web page, click here.
