Getting Involved: The Coretta Scott King Book Awards Community

Welcome to the Coretta Scott King Book Awards Round Table Community!

Would you like to get involved with the Coretta Scott King Book Awards Round Table (CSKBART)? Any member of the American Library Association can join CSKBART!

To learn more about being a part of the CSKBART Community, download our membership brochure

Here is a simple question for you to answer in order to get started:

Have you joined the American Library Association? 

If not, then become a member of ALA

If you answered "yes" to the question above, you are almost ready to go! You can add CSKBART to your membership using the ALA Membership portal. To become an ALA/CSKBART member or to add sections, please login to the ALA website or call ALA Membership Relations and Services at 1-800-545-2433. 

Once you become a member, don't forget to visit the Coretta Scott King Book Awards Community on ALA Connect and join in on the conversation. Once logged in, simply click "Join" in the left of the banner and become an official part of the community. 

After joining the Connect Group, you will have the opportunity discuss ways you have used the Coretta Scott King Book Awards in your community, share news, and share ideas you have to spread the word.

Are you interested in volunteering to serve on a CSKBART Standing Committee? All Standing Committees are accepting volunteers! Fill out the ALA Volunteer Form, and select the CSKBART Standing Committee you are interested in joining. 

Trouble logging in? The volunteer form is tied to your ALA membership. To become an ALA/CSKBART member or to add sections, please login to the ALA website or call ALA Membership Relations and Services at 1-800-545-2433.

Volunteers should only volunteer with their personal ALA login. Please make sure your ALA/CSKBART membership is current prior to attempting to volunteer for a division-level committee or section.
