Wanted!
Passionate
voracious
playful readers
contributors
of
the Poetry Friday community
for
CYBILS.
Autumn approaches
Leaves fall
Poetry books arrive
Begging to be chosen
Consider
First round judges will read at least 30 poetry books(wouldn’t it be great to have more than thirty nominated?) to select the finalists for round two. In the second round, committee members will read five to seven books to decide which poetry book has the triple threat in books: kid appeal, literary merit, and accessibility. I mean, don’t we want to foster the love of poetry to children and young adults?
The deadline to apply is next week, AUGUST 31. So don’t delay.
All the information you need to apply can be found HERE
If you have any questions, please email Cybils09@gmail.com.

Poetry Friday is at Dori Reads.
Happy Reading.

Thanks for helping such a good cause, Jone! I’m afraid I can’t add anything to my bubbling-over pot this fall, but it would be an honor to do one of these years.
I sent in my application last week! Good luck with putting the teams together!
I did apply Jone, but I’m new to this, so… It does sound exciting!
How I wish I could squeeze this into my fall routine, but I’m not crazy enough to add another thing! I know you will have lots of wonderful people to help.
I love your poetic call to action!
