[ISLMA-Share] Readers' Choice Grant

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

There is only one registration fee.  It is $10.00 PER AWARD (Monarch,
Bluestem, Lincoln through ISLMA, Caudill through Caudill).  The fee has to
be paid for the coming year's cycle.  If you registered and paid to be an
official program submitting votes in January 2018 (for example), that
registration was for the 2018 votes.  You would need to register (and pay)
for the 2019 voting cycle to be eligible for the 2019 book set grant.

Many people share the books with their readers without registering for the
programs, which is fine for your readers, but remember that your readers'
votes could change the outcome of the votes. The only way they can be
counted is if you register to be part of the program and submit their votes.

The LBSS grant is designed to help you help your readers enjoy the titles
on these reading lists by providing a set of books.  As with any grant,
there are certain requirements and guidelines, in this case it is to
register with the program.

Enjoy the 2019 titles!  Good luck with your grant applications everyone!
