Rebecca Caudill

Did you read (or listen) to at least 3 of the 20 titles on the 2009 Rebecca Caudill list? If so ... then you are eligible to vote for your favorite book! Voting will take place during afternoon advisory on Tuesday, February 24th. Check the LMC News board within the next week or so for more information. 

I am also very excited because the Rebecca Caudill list for 2010 was just released. You can see the list on the Rebecca Caudill site. I served on the reader's advisory committee for this list - there are some great books that made it to the list!
