The winners of several youth media awards were announced this morning at the ALA Midwinter Meeting in Denver. A press release announcing all of the winners will be available in the Youth Media Awards Press Kit at http://www.ala.org/yma later this morning.

Of course, on this blog, we're most excited about those honored with the Sibert Award for informational books, so here they are:

The 2009 Robert F. Sibert Medal was awarded to:

Two Sibert honor books were named:

Welcome

Welcome to the ACPL Mock Sibert blog!

We're excited about all the new informational books for kids that will be published in 2011 and we look foward to highlighting some of the best here. We hope you'll join the discussion by leaving comments on the titles we post. If you'd like to suggest a title for our list, simply leave a comment or send us an email.

In January of 2012, we'll get together in person to talk about our favorites and vote for our Mock Sibert Award winners. Watch for details to be published later this year.
