It was announced today that Julie Tomlianovich, South Central Kansas
Library System Youth Services Consultant has been elected to the 2009
Newbery Award Committee.

 

Paul Hawkins, SCKLS Director stated, "Election to the Newbery Award
Committee is a prestigious national honor for a youth services
librarian. We are proud of Julie's work within our region, the state and
at the national level."

 

Election to the Newbery Committee is a one year commitment which begins
at the American Library Association's Midwinter Meeting in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania on January 11, 2008. Half of the fifteen person committee
is elected and the remaining half is appointed. Participants represent
all areas of the United States. The Committee selects the Newbery winner
and honor books from hundreds of titles. The Newbery Medal was named for
eighteenth-century British bookseller John Newbery and the first medal
was presented to The Story of Mankind by Hendrik Willem van Loon. It is
awarded annually by the Association for Library Service to Children
(ALSC), a division of the American Library Association, to the author of
the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children.


 

Julie was a member of the 1996 Caldecott Award Committee for the ALSC
and is a member of the William Allen White Book Award Committee for the
state of Kansas.

 

The South Central Kansas Library System is located in South Hutchinson,
Kansas. SCKLS is made up of 149 participating libraries including
public, academic, school and special libraries. The service population
is approximately 762,058 and represents twelve counties in south central
Kansas.
