Kids' Pick

One of my favorite awards is the Young Readers Choice Award from the Pacific Northwest Library Association. Started in 1940, this is the oldest children's choice award in the U.S. and Canada. Every year teachers, children, parents and librarians submit their nominations for the awards in the three divisions (Junior, Middle and Senior). Over the year children read at least two of these titles and vote on their favorites.
The 2010 Nominees have been revealed and can be found here. The voting for the 2009 titles begins March 15 and continues through April 15. Have a look at these to see if your child can vote. The library orders plenty of copies so check for availability in our catalog.
