Important Message from the WCCPBA

The Washington Children’s Choice Picture Book Committee is also looking for new members to fill its ranks. We would like to try to add members that represent our geographic regions and the ethnic diversity of our students. If you would like to serve on this committee, please send a letter of interest to Barb Hagerty [email protected] and Mimi Vosper [email protected]. Applications are due on March 14, 2019.

Please include your qualifications and why you think you should be considered in your letter. Also, please tell us which three nominees or winners of WCCPBA in the past years is your favorite, why you like these specific books, and how you utilize them with students.

The committee responsibilities are:

to attend the fall conference and present at a session with the group
to attend the spring meeting to select the next year’s nominations (switches sides of the state, a full day on a Saturday in March)
to read the approximately 150 nominated books prior to our spring meeting
to prepare lesson plans on 2-3 of the final nominees to be posted on the WLA website

You will also have a job on the committee (i.e. Committee Chair, Webmaster, Poster Sales and Printing, Award Distribution, Conference Coordinator, etc.) that requires independent work throughout the year depending on your assignment.

Barb and Mimi look forward to hearing from you.

Here is the 2020 list. Summaries and activity packets will soon follow!
