2012 OPLbery Medals Awarded!

Our OPLbery Medals (mock Newbery) have been awarded! After meeting monthly since March 2011, the members of the OPLbery Club (ages 9 – 13) met and voted yesterday. The Second Annual OPLbery Medal goes to … Floors,  by Patrick Carman. OPLbery Honors were given to The Fingertips of Duncan Dorfman, by Meg Wolitzer, and Close to Famous, by Joan Bauer. The OPLbery members read and evaluated over 40 books before selecting these outstanding books. In March, we will begin the process all over again for the 2013 awards.

On January 23, the American Library Association will announce the 2012 Newbery medal winner. Check back for the announcement.
