The Buckaroo Book Award provides the opportunity for Wyoming children in grades kindergarten through third to select favorite books they have read or listened to and to honor the authors of these books. Purpose:

• To help children become acquainted with the best contemporary authors.

• To help children become aware of the qualities that make a good book.

• To accustom younger children to concepts of choice, critical reading, and voting procedures that will help them participate in choosing other awards.

• To honor an author whose book has been enjoyed by children in Wyoming.

The Buckaroo Book Award is a joint project of the Wyoming State Literacy Association (WSLA) and the Wyoming Library Association (WLA).
