    Hello RT members,

    In anticipation for the Youth Media Awards this January, the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) is hosting mock elections for ALA community members to vote on their favorite books. Mock YMA Election programs are a wonderful opportunity for children's literature aficionados to learn more about some of the great, recently published books for kids. We welcome any groups from libraries, schools, to book discussion groups to host mock elections and submit their results to the Association for Library Service to Children. 

    Please share widely with your libraries, schools, and friends who are excited about the Youth Media Award results! Mock election results can be submitted at the following link: Mock YMA Elections Results

    More information about mock elections, including mock election results can be found on the YMA Award Blog, 2025 Mock YMA Elections Results Page - ALSC Blog

    Please feel free to reach out with any questions, and happy voting!

    In community,

    Jennifer
