Nutmeg Book Drops is a podcast project created by Christina Carpino. Librarians across Connecticut have contributed to this endeavor----hence our publisher name, Librarians ConneCT! The podcasts are separated by age into four separate listening experiences:
High School Edition discusses the High School Nutmeg Nominees. These titles are suggested for grades 9-12.
Middle School Edition discusses the Middle School Nominees. These titles are suggested for grades 7-8.
Intermediate Edition discusses the Intermediate Nominees. These titles are suggested for grades 4-6.
Elementary Edition discusses the Elementary School Nominees. These titles are suggested for grades 2-3.
The purpose of these podcasts is to explore the CT Nutmeg nominees in a book discussion format and encourage students to check out these wonderful reads (both literally and in an investigative sense---visit any CT library to pick one up!).
Some podcasts feature interviews with nominated authors who share about their inspirations, insights, and the themes their novels explore.
