In order to accomplish this they must each read 100 - 250 titles each year and then discuss and evaluate those titles at regular meetings. The result is each year’s carefully selected reading list in each of four categories: Picture Book, Children's, Junior, and Young Adult. Librarians, teachers, and students across the state of South Carolina owe these committee members a big vote of thanks! Composition: The Book Award Committee has an Executive Board Representative/Chairperson to oversee all award levels as well as Chair and Vice Chair positions for each sub-committee (Picture, Children’s, Junior, and Young Adult).
Each of the Book Award Committees can be made up of a cross section of media specialists, teachers, students, parents, administrators, public librarians, and college or university representatives. Chairperson: The Book Award Committee Chairperson (Executive Board Representative) is selected by the SCASL President in consultation with the outgoing Chair. Meetings: The Book Award Committees meet five times a year: May, August, October, December, and March (at the Annual Conference).
