Congratulations to all of the Cybils winners!  It was my pleasure to work on the final judging panel for the YA category this year.  I’m afraid with my new job, I was not as involved as I usually am, but I know we came up with a great pick!  The panel was a treat to work with and I thank them all for their patience in dealing with my divided attention.
