The Women’s National Book Association [1] is seeking nominations of bookstores in the U.S. that excel at inspiring kids’ interest in reading, as well as creatively bringing books and young people together. The organization will present the annual WNBA Pannell Award to two bookstores — one general bookstore and one children’s specialty bookstore — at BookExpo America [2] in June 2012.
Each winner will receive a check for $1,000 and a framed piece of original art by a noted children’s book illustrator. The deadline for nominations, which can be submitted to Pannell jury via e-mail [3], is January 15. Stores may nominate themselves.
