Jury Duty You Won’t Want To Avoid
Have you always said you couldn’t get enough books? The Toronto Book Awards want to test your mettle.
Five jurors are needed to pick the short list and the winner for 2007. With 80 to 100 books to choose from, plus meetings to attend, this will take up a lot of your time between February and March. The upside (besides being an integral part of Toronto’s literary history) is that you get to keep all the books you read. You might want to review Torontoist’s post on BookCrossing for a way to make room on your groaning shelves before signing up for this gig.
If you’re interested, send an email with a paragraph about yourself and a paragraph about your interest in the Toronto Book Awards to [email protected] (no file attachments or resumes, please), along with your address and phone number by Monday February 12, 2007.
