The Dogwood Committee was formed in 2020 through the Missouri Association of School Librarians. We are a group of nine librarians that work in K-12 school districts throughout the state of Missouri. The purpose of the committee is to read, rate, and create a list of the top nonfiction for grades K-12.  If you are interested in joining the team, please fill out the form on our Get Involved page!
