The ALA Youth Media Awards will be announced on Monday, February 2nd at 8 am Central Time. A live webcast will be offered as well as posts on Twitter and Facebook, so stay tuned.

Other years, I have live blogged the event, but this year I won’t be able to.  I’ll still post my reactions and lists of the winners later though. Here’s to celebrating some great reads for children and teens. 

And congratulations too to all of the amazing books that don’t win the big awards but still make a huge difference for young people.
