Some people have the Super Bowl. I have the ALA Youth Media Awards Broadcast.
Seriously, though. I’ve been watching the whole broadcast for years now (instead of just tuning in for the Newberys at the end). And even though it just adds to the TBR pile/list that only gets longer (no matter how much I read), I love seeing what new and exciting books there are to enjoy. I put a few on hold today (that’s all I had space for on my library card) and was immensely pleased to realize that I already had this year’s Newbery medalist on hold. I’d read at least two other award winners and there were quite a few more on my radar, so that’s fun. If you’re reading this in early 2026, you can find the list of winners here; if it’s later than that, you probably just want to google the Youth Media Awards press kit/list of winners for 2026.
In the meantime, I did afternoon recess duty at the elementary school today, and between that and the broadcast, well–it’s a basics kind of day. We’ll see what tomorrow looks like!
