What's It Really Like? Join the 2026 Mock Newbery LIVE! (School Library Journal) Online
The Newbery Committee chooses the Medal winner behind closed doors, but here’s your chance to see how it works. Our expert Mock Newbery panel, the Heavy Medal Award Committee, discusses five of the best books of the year, following the process of the real Committee. Check out the final nomination list! Watch, listen in, and join the debate with comments and questions before casting your vote to help decide this year’s Mock Newbery winner!
