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!

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 participation also earns you other prizes, including mini-pins, raffle entries, and gift cards to local businesses!
