For the Printz Committee I'm on, we are in the post-January Midwinter Meeting time period.

For the Printz Committee that just picked this year's Award Winners, they are in the planning stages for this June's Printz Awards Program.

Carlie Webber, a contributor to this blog, is on the slate of candidates for next year's Printz Committee, so that is the May-June time slot at the very beginning of the Calendar.
