The TBA program’s goal is to encourage reading for pleasure. Titles are chosen for both quality and appeal to children. To be eligible to vote, children must read at least 5 of the books on the list. In January each year, students in grades 3-6 vote for their favorite of the 20 titles on the list. The 2023-2024 TBA winner will be announced in February (2024), and the award will be presented at the 2024 Texas Library Association (TLA) Annual Conference.
