Before you consider applying, here is a breakdown of the responsibilities for being a
book award committee member:
- membership on a committee is a two year commitment
- members must maintain SCASL membership for the length of your term on the book award committee
- members agree to attend four Columba area meetings [2018 dates are May 19, Aug. 4, Oct. 8, and Dec.4 and missing more than one meeting automatically removes you from the committee]
- members read approximately 100 (YABA), 150 (JBA), 175 (JBA) or 200 (PBA) books to narrow the titles down to the top 20 best books [The committee you serve as a parent, student, teacher, librarian, etc. is determined by the level you work or the grade your child attends: PBA is grades 4K-3; CBA is grades 3-6; JBA is grades 6-9; and YABA is grades 9-12.]
- members submit 12 titles for the next years consideration list
- members are required to create an activity guide for at least one nominee title
- members attend the SCASL conference, are present at the appropriate book talk sessions and present a booktalk for at least one book
- members work one shift in the Book Award section of the conference store during the SCASL annual conference
