The document outlines the process for hosting a Mock Newbery Program, which is designed to encourage community partnership and get students excited about reading quality children's literature. Key aspects of the program include: 1. Establishing a partnership between a school and public library to host the program. 2. Educating students about the history and criteria of the Newbery Medal award and promoting recommended book titles. 3. Having students read books on reading lists each month and participate in monthly book club discussions to nominate their favorite titles to a top ten list. 4. Hosting a culminating Mock Newbery assembly where community members read passages from the top ten books and students vote for the winning title.
