CALIBA OFFICE HAPPENINGS

While our bookseller friends have been hard at work connecting readers with their next favorite books and you’ve all been crossing your “t”s and dotting your “i”s for the end of the busy Fall season, the CALIBA staff has been pushing forward on a few projects.

As you know, the Golden Poppy Committees have all submitted their finalist lists and the staff has started promoting it! Click here to view the 2024 Golden Poppy Award Finalists. Congratulations to the authors and publishers whose books made the lists! The Shelf Awareness finalist email will go out to the public on December 3rd. Voting for the winners will take place January 5th-15th. 

The Virtual Golden Poppy Awards will take place on January 30th at 7 PM PST. Mark your calendars and register for the event now. 

Along with the Golden Poppy Award Finalists, we are happy to be launching CALIBA merch! We’ve designed a vinyl sticker and an enamel pin using the beautiful Golden Poppy art Obi Kaufmann created for us. Both of these items were designed with the intent of being resold in our members’ stores! The money CALIBA makes from the purchase of these items will first go towards the Glenn Goldman Scholarship and second to helping us fund CALIBA programs. Keep an eye out for this merch and more at future CALIBA events. 

Finally, CALIBA is moving to a new membership platform! Novi will provide a more user-friendly experience for our members. We hope to launch our new website early next year, in time for NorCal Spring Forum registration. 

The CALIBA staff sincerely wishes you a happy and fruitful holiday season.
