    Dear EMIERT and CSK Members,

    Thank you for your continued support of the Coretta Scott King Book Awards Community throughout this very turbulent year with COVID-19.  We hope that you and your family members are doing well. 

    The CSK Executive Board is canvassing our members to encourage you to volunteer to serve on a standing committee. Opportunities to collaborate and contribute to the work of our Awards community are listed below. 

    If you would like to join one of our subcommittees, please fill out the CSK Volunteer Form. Select "EMIERT" from the groups you want to volunteer from, and note that you must be a current EMIERT member to serve on the CSK Book Awards. The form will go to our Chair Dr. Brenda Pruitt-Annisette, and she will try to accommodate your interests.

    CSK committees are...

    • Archives and History Standing Committee
    • Book Grant Standing Committee
    • Breakfast Standing Committee
    • Marketing Standing Committee
    • Membership Standing Committee
    • Programs Standing Committee
    • Public Relations/Fundraising Standing Committee
    • Publications Standing Committee
    • Technology Standing Committee

    Please know that committee terms last two years, and usually start after ALA Annual, June 2021. Some positions may start earlier.

    The CSK Volunteer Form is part of ALA Connect, so you will need to sign into ALA Connect first. If you have questions about ALA Connect, there is support on the sign in page.

    If you have questions about the Coretta Scott King Book Awards Community, freely ask our Chair Dr. Pruitt-Annisette at annisettes@gmail.com.

    We look forward to hearing from you. Take care and stay safe!
