Nutmeg Book Awards

Nutmeg Books

Grade four and five students are invited to read all 10 books that have been nominated not only by teachers and librarians, but by students as well. Each year we purchase multiple copies of Nutmeg nominees for library borrowing. These books are also available at Welles-Turner and other public libraries.

Nayaug Nutmeg Book Celebration

In April students across Connecticut will cast votes for their favorite Nutmeg book. Students who have read all titles by April will be invited to the Nayaug Nutmeg Book Celebration.
