Dear Teachers and School Library and Public Library Staff,
         Please encourage your students in schools and public libraries across the United States to participate in voting for their favorite 2022-2023 BCCCA nominated title! Readers with reading levels of K-5th grades who have read or listened to at least two of the nominated books may vote for their one favorite title. The BCCCA Contest opens on March 15th and ends on April 10th, 2023 at 6 PM!
To promote this contest, please go to the BCCCA website packed with lots of wonderful tips! https://www.olaweb.org/bccca-nominees
*  Show readers the animoto, slideshow and/or the short video clips that accompany these nominees.
*  Read aloud as many of this year's seven nominations as possible.
*  Remind readers that as long as they've read or listened to TWO or more of the BCCCA nominations, each of them can vote for their one very favorite title. Readers need to realize that they need to finish at least 2 of the books by the date that the adult administering the BCCCA program chooses to end the contest.

Voting Information:   https://ola.memberclicks.net/bccca-how-to-vote

Only the adult administering the BCCCA program enters the final tallies using the Google BCCCA Adult Online Submission Form. That link is open from March 15th on the BCCCA website.  Students do not enter their votes online. Adults, please submit all votes that each book has received. BCCCA Adult Online Submission Forms MUST be received by 6 PM on Sunday, April 10th to be counted.

The winning 2022-2023 BCCCA title will be announced on Beverly Cleary's 107th birthday, April 12, 2023 along with the new 2023-2024 BCCCA Nominations!

Thank you all for your participation!  If you experience any problems, please email me.
