Each year, a KBA committee for each grade band chooses the books for each of the Master Lists (Preschool, K-2, 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12) in a year-long process. These committees are made up of volunteers and include school librarians, public librarians, and classroom teachers from across the state. The Kentucky Bluegrass Award is a program designed to encourage students to read widely from lists of current, well-reviewed literature that reflects a variety of experiences and points of view. Check out the flyer below to learn more about the 2024-2025 KBA Nominees for Grades 6-8.  Slide decks for previous years are also available to preview.
