Congrats to the Library Basket of Books Winners

The basket of books nominations have come to a close. Sadly, I’ve had to choose among all the great nominees. THANK you all for giving me so many nominations!

I couldn’t choose just twenty, though. The nominees were too deserving. I’d send books to every one of them, if I could, and there was just no way that I could pick between all the schools and libraries where the students were extremely disadvantaged, or the libraries who have lost their funding, or the schools and libraries where teachers and librarians enter giveaways just to get recently published books into the hands of readers.

With choosing impossible, I narrowed the selection down to a hundred nominations, and then chose at random from there. That’s a small drop in the bucket, but hopefully, it will help a little bit.

Honestly, I couldn’t have more respect and honor for all the teachers and librarians and volunteers who spend their time getting books into the hands of readers by any means they can.

To continue to help, in addition to the many giveaways that we and the generous authors and publishers with new books out provide each week here on Adventures–which I hope librarians and teachers will continue to enter–I will donate a basket of books to a school or library each month to a school or library.
