They hope this sacrifice will keep her from terrorizing their town. But the witch in the Forest, Xan, is kind. She shares her home with a wise Swamp Monster and a Perfectly Tiny Dragon. Xan rescues the children and delivers them to welcoming families on the other side of the forest, nourishing the babies with starlight on the journey. One year, Xan accidentally feeds a baby moonlight instead of starlight, filling the ordinary child with extraordinary magic. Xan decides she must raise this girl, whom she calls Luna, as her own. As Luna’s thirteenth birthday approaches, her magic begins to emerge--with dangerous consequences. Meanwhile, a young man from the Protectorate is determined to free his people by killing the witch. Deadly birds with uncertain intentions flock nearby. A volcano, quiet for centuries, rumbles just beneath the earth’s surface. And the woman with the Tiger’s heart is on the prowl . .” F reedom Over Me: Eleven Slaves, Their Lives and Dreams Brought to Life by Ashley ​ Bryan ● Newbery Medal Honor Book, 2017 ● Amazon Link ● School Library Journal Review, via Amazon: Gr 4-6 ● Common Sense Media Link ● ● Synopsis, via Amazon.com: ​ “Using original slave auction and plantation estate documents, Ashley Bryan offers a moving and powerful picture book that contrasts the monetary value of a slave with the priceless value of life experiences and dreams that a slave owner could never take away. Imagine being looked up and down and being valued as less than chair. Less than an ox. Less than a dress. Maybe about the same as…a lantern. You, an object. An object to sell. In his gentle yet deeply powerful way, Ashley Bryan goes to the heart of how a slave is given a monetary value by the slave owner, tempering this with the one thing that CAN’T be bought or sold—dreams. Inspired by the actual will of a plantation owner that lists the worth of each and every one of his “workers”, Bryan has created collages around that document, and others like it. Through fierce paintings and expansive poetry he imagines and interprets each person’s life on the plantation, as well as the life their owner knew nothing about—their dreams and pride in knowing that they were worth far more than an Overseer or Madam ever would guess. Visually epic, and never before done, this stunning picture book is unlike anything you’ve seen.” Back to Top 2017 - 2016 - 2015 - 2014 - 2013 - 2012 - 2011 - 2010 - 2009 - ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2008 - 2007 - 2006 - 2005 - 2004 - 2003 - 2002 - 2001 - 2000 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ T he Inquisitor’s Tale: Or, The Three Magical Children and Their Holy Dog by Adam Gidwitz ​ ● Newbery Medal Honor Book, 2016 ● Amazon Link ● School Library Journal Review, via Amazon: Gr 5-10 ● Common Sense Media Link ● ● Synopsis, via Amazon.com: ​ “1242. On a dark night, travelers from across France cross paths at an inn and begin to tell stories of three children. Their adventures take them on a chase through France: they are taken captive by knights, sit alongside a king, and save the land from a farting dragon. On the run to escape prejudice and persecution and save precious and holy texts from being burned, their quest drives them forward to a final showdown at Mont Saint-Michel, where all will come to question if these children can perform the miracles of saints.

  • Policies and Procedures for the Antelope High School Library Johanna Mccoy San Jose State University
    Running head: POLICIES AND PROCEDURES ANTELOPE HIGH SCHOOL 1 Policies and Procedures for The Antelope High School Library Johanna McCoy San Jose State University POLICIES AND PROCEDURES ANTELOPE HIGH SCHOOL 2 Policies and Procedures for The Antelope High School Library Introduction The Antelope High School (AnHS) Library is located on the modern campus of Antelope High School in Antelope, CA and can be accessed through an outside courtyard area. The Library itself is a bright and modern space, with five, floor to ceiling windows, five sky lights, 20 ft. ceilings, and 5040 sq. ft. of usable space. Within the Library, there are several distinct zones dedicated to various activities such as reading, studying, computing, collaborating, socializing, and “making”. In addition to the main library space, the College and Career Center is also located in the Library. The Library serves Antelope High School’s entire academic community, including faculty, staff, students, and district personnel. While the entire student body of 1,825 students utilizes the AnHS Library for textbook checkouts and returns four times each year, an average of 350 students visit the AnHS Library every day for a variety of services, starting before school and continuing through after-school tutoring and library events. Additionally, parent groups, guest speakers, counselors, the school nurse, on-campus clubs, various sports teams, teachers, and the Roseville Joint Union School District hold events and meetings in the Library. The challenges facing the AnHS Library include a below average budget, a small print collection, low student participation in library programming and events, and limited teacher and librarian collaboration.

  • Sibert Medal Procedural Manual
    ROBERT F. SIBERT INFORMATIONAL BOOK AWARD COMMITTEE MANUAL January 2016 1 Robert F. Sibert Award Committee Manual – Revised January 2016 FOREWORD The Robert F. Sibert Informational Book Award was first presented in 2001. It came at the dawn of the 21st Century, yet well into the Information Age. In honoring distinguished informational books for children, the Sibert Award draws attention to fascinating content, but, perhaps more importantly, it draws attention to high standards in the presentation of that content. This manual, based on two years of Sibert Award Committee experience, outlines practices, procedures and principles to follow in the selection and presentation of the Sibert Award. This manual is primarily intended as a guide for committee members and the Chair. It also serves to lay out for public view the orderly process that leads to the selection of winners. Members of the Sibert Award Manual Task Force brought to bear direct experience on the Sibert Award Committee itself as well as invaluable experience on other major ALSC book award committees. This Manual reflects the good sense and sensibility of the Task Force, its firm command of policy, practice and procedure, and its deep commitment to the award’s high purpose. This Manual outlines for future committees how to conduct an exhaustive, even-handed, and orderly selection process aimed at recognizing the highest standards in informational books for children. To those joining a Sibert Award Committee, congratulations and enjoy! True pleasure and a busy year await you. To those not serving on a Sibert Committee but interested in learning more about its work, we invite you to enjoy informational books along with the committee itself.
