Newbery, Caldecott, & other award winners announced!

The American Library Association (ALA) today announced the top books, video and audiobooks for children and young adults - including the Caldecott, King, Newbery, Schneider Family and Printz awards, and others - at its Midwinter Meeting in Philadelphia.
For all the results check the site below. I have not ordered many books the last 6 months as we did not have an intern and I wanted work done on the backlog of cataloging. I will order most of these award winners rush and others from my list soon. (we have a new intern starting next week!!!!!)
