ALA Awards to be Webcast

The new YALSA blog has great news for those of us not going to ALA Midwinter.  For the first time ever, the children’s and teen literature awards will be webcast!  The blog has a list of the many awards that will be given out on the morning of January 23rd, including the Newbery, Caldecott, Printz, King, and the new Theodor Seuss Geisel Award for beginning readers.  Hurrah!
