If you are interested in joining a reading committee, email Kathy Patten. Please understand that the committees are limited to 15 members and a spot for you may not be open. Committee chairs do keep a waiting list. Work on the committee does require that you read many, many books for the age group. To keep your spot on the committee, you must submit at least one title for consideration. Voting for title to be on the final lists requires having read a minimum number of the books nominated to that point in time (the chair will tell you what the "minimum" is)
