The 2009/2010 Winners
We were thrilled with the turnout for this first year.
Over 7,000 votes were cast for the 32 books.
Winners for individual schools were sent
to the respective teacher/librarians
There are four awards:
Picture Book

The shortlists are read from September through March.
Voting is held in March.
A Readers Cup competition based on a subset of these shortlists is held in late April / early May.
