April 30 Deadline for Postmarked ABA Board and Book of the Year Ballots

Ballots for the ABA Board of Directors and for the 2003 Book Sense Book of the Year Awards must be posted by April 30 and received by May 7. Both ballots were mailed to ABA bookstore members at the end of March, and a downloadable ballot for the Book of the Year Awards is available online at BookWeb.org.

The ballot for the ABA Board of Directors must be returned in the special postage-paid envelope addressed to KPMG. Ballots sent directly to ABA will not be counted.

Ballots for the Book Sense Book of the Year Awards must also be sent to KPMG and may be returned in the postage-paid envelope along with the Board ballot, or they may be mailed in a plain envelope with "BSBY Ballot Enclosed" printed on the outside to the attention of Charlene Laniewski at KPMG, 345 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10154, 35th fl. Book of the Year ballots may also be faxed to KPMG, Attn: Charlene Laniewski, at (212) 954-7080.

The winners of the Book Sense Book of the Year Awards will be announced at the Celebration of Bookselling, at BookExpo America, on Friday, May 30. All ABA member stores are eligible to vote. In the case of multiple ballots from the same store, the first ballot received will be counted.
