ALSC members (a.k.a. our local librarians) are invited to suggest titles and names for the 2009 Mildred L. Batchelder Award given to (deep breath) "an American publisher for a children's book considered to be the most outstanding of those books originally published in a foreign language in a foreign country and subsequently published in English in the United States during the preceding year." Only books from the 2008 publishing year are eligible for the award.
