Lincoln Book Award Program @ETHS
What is the Lincoln Book Award?
The Lincoln Award Program is a statewide program from AISLE (Association of Illinois School Library Educators) designed to encourage HS students to read.
Each year librarians and HS students make a list of 20 nominees. (This list can include both adult & young adult fiction, nonfiction, graphic novels, and story collections.)
The book that gets the most student votes statewide is declared that year's winner!
But what do I actually do in this program?
READ! Then, once you finish a nominee, please fill out this check-in form so we can add that title to your tally.
You only need to read FOUR of the nominated titles between now and mid-March in order to vote. (But reading even just one will get you a Lincoln mini-pin!)
The REAL PRIZE, of course, is the pleasure you derive from reading, BUT reading more than four books also earns you other prizes, including gift cards to local businesses!
Check out the nominees for the 2021-2022 award!
