Join the Blue Crab Committee

Are you interested in joining the 2024 Maryland Blue Crab Young Reader Award Committee?

 To serve on the committee, you must be a member of either the Maryland Library Association or the Maryland Association of School Librarians. The committee will meet monthly from June 2023 through February 2024 on a schedule to be determined by the committee chair and members themselves. Monthly meetings are held virtually.

On this committee you will read and analyze MANY early-reader and transitional-reader books throughout the year. MLA awards 30 CEU's to committee members to recognize their many hours of work and study during the year. The work is worth it. You'll become an expert on early and transitional books for young readers, form new friendships, and make 16 authors really, really happy!
