Please fill out this form if you would like to nominate a teen in grades 7-11 to serve as a Teen Book Awards Ambassador on the Flume & Isinglass Awards committee.

Selected teens will be asked to read nominated titles, rate and leave thoughtful reviews about the books they read, and attend the Flume & Isinglass short list meetings through March of 2024 Those in grades 7-8 will read books nominated for the Isinglass award, and those in grades 9-11 will read for the Flume award. As a teacher/librarian, we would ask that you assist the teen you are nominating in locating/obtaining access to nominated titles if they are selected as an Ambassador.

Since this will be our first group of Teen Book Awards Ambassadors, we are asking that teens are willing to make a commitment THROUGH MARCH 2023, which will involve reading books for two different sets of nominated titles. This position would start in May 2023.

*Please note that in order to be considered, nominated teens must also fill out the Flume & Isinglass Teen Representative Application, found here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdXS_OEuURHzMJ7P30mbcnRR9UBsvUOvxb1hLy37elr1dedWQ/viewform

Both the teen and teacher/librarian forms must be submitted by May 4th, 2022. A committee member will be in touch by May 4th to inform teens whether they have been selected. Feel free to contact Jenny Devost at jenny@merrimacklibrary.org with any questions.

Thank you!
