If you would like to speak to someone about what being on a book award
committee is like, I have been on three different book award committees
over 6 years and would love to talk to you!  It has completely changed my
outlook on collection development management.  I highly recommend it!

Thank you,

Kimberly Usselman
Outgoing Committee Member
