Yes, we’re just now voting on this year’s Georgia Peach Book Award nominees, but the committee has just announced the nominees for next year, 2009-2010. Here’s a peek at what the nominees are. You can search our online catalog for the list of next year’s nominees also. If you have suggestions of books published within the past five years which you would like for us to submit to the committee for potential addition to the 2010-2011 list, please let us know. We’ll send your recommendations on to the committee. But for now, get started reading these jewels, especially if you plan on participating in the Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl for next year:
