Burgess Books for the library. Librarians may send the letter anytime during the year to the attention of Jeanne Johnson, Executive Director, Thornton W. Burgess Society, 6 Discovery Hill Road, East Sandwich, Cape Cod, MA 02537, phone 508-888-6870. In November, the society notifies those libraries which are to receive the award - usually 20 libraries are selected. |
