John Cotton Dana Award Submission
FedEx will be a little busier today. We will submit jamboread! for the John Cotton Dana Award. From the HW Wilson website:The Most Prestigious Award of the American Library Association
The John Cotton Dana Award, sponsored by H.W. Wilson, honors outstanding library public relations, whether a summer reading program, a year-long centennial celebration, fundraising for a new college library, an awareness campaign or an innovative partnership in the community.
Winning enteries are announced after the first of the year, and honored at ALA's Annual Conference.
Jamboread, the Libraries' day long reading festival, features children's authors and illustartors from around the country. Past authors have included Jack Prelutsky, David Wiesner, Louis Sachar, Laura Numeroff, and many others. Next year's festival is Saturday, March 3.

Good Luck! I know everyone has worked hard on this submission. I have my fingers crossed.
I think you deserve the award. Excellent program for the entire family. March 7, 2007 is a Wednesday do you think it should be March 3, 2007? Any news on the authors for next year?
Thanks to an alert reader. The date of next year's jamboread! is now correct.
