How it Works

Here are some more details:

  • Readers sign up in person at the Northfield library where they receive a Newbery passport and membership number.
  • After the member reads a book, they fill out a question sheet which asks some general questions and gives them a chance to rate the book.   You can download a copy of the form from the link in the Resources section below.   
  • The forms are returned to the library where our ace form-checker reads each one.  They're not graded, but she can tell if you haven't really read it! 
  • After a few days (or maybe a little longer) the forms are then available for pickup at the library.
  • ImageWhen you finish reading 10 books, you get a spiffy bookmark.  With each 10 books you finish, you get a bead for your bookmark.  Plus, when you finish reading the first book to win a Newbery award (The Story of Mankind, 1922) you get a special bead.
  • At the very end, when you've read all the Newbery winners, you name will be added to a plaque at the Northfield Library.

To sign up, ask at the libary.
