Black Eyed Susan Tapestry (BEST)

Author Name: Amanda Kaufman
Library System: Washington County Free Library

Top 3 things learned:

1. How books are selected for the Black Eyed Susan awards, the voting process for selecting the winners, and discussions on the selected books for this year.
2. Top rated Picture Books for 2015 so far.
3. Top rated children's chapter books for 2015 so far.

How to implement: 
Great way to learn how to incorporate the Black Eyed Susan nominees/winners from each year into library programming (such as Battle of the Books or Book Clubs). You learn how to book talk the nominees to get kids reading, and are given a CD of all nominees with a synopsis of the book and programming/activity ideas to use. I have chosen to use some of the Black Eyed Susan nominees in my Home School Book Club.
