Caldecott Award Podcast

If you have a few minutes, take some time to listen to this enlightening podcast posted on Library Beat, in which Sarah Long, of the North Suburban Library System near Chicago, interviews Nell Colburn, the chair of the 2009 Caldecott Award Committee. They discuss many interesting topics, including the award process and last year's Caldecott Medal winner, The House in the Night.

For fans of other types of children's literature, there are also interviews with the chairs of the 2009 Newbery and Carnegie Award Committees. Many thanks to the ALSC Blog for making us aware of these podcasts!
