Cybils Book Awards Announced
February 17th, 2009
On Valentine’s Day the world of children’s literature learned about a new set of “winners”! The 2008 Cybils were announced! The Cybils are a series of book awards given by children’s and young adult book bloggers. Now in their third year, the group is comprised of 90+ bloggers who write about children’s and teen’s books every day. The Cybils have only two criteria: literary merit and kid appeal; and they open their nominations to the public. Check out this year’s winners as well as the process for Cybils and be prepared to nominate your favorites in October 2009!
Happy Reading!

Carol, thank you so much for the nice shout-out! I grew up with RIF and I so love your organization. It means a lot to have you notice us at Cybils.

I am excited about the Cybils and look forward to finding different ways of promoting the awards…we will certainly try to encourage nominations next fall! And how much fun to learn you are a RIF alum…do stop by to see us if you are in the DC area, we love to talk “children and books”!
