North Carolina Children’s Book Award

The North Carolina Children's Book Award began in 1992. Each year since then, school and public libraries participate in the process of selecting, studying and voting for the next winner! Members of the North Carolina Library Association's children's committee select a group of picture books and junior novels from suggestions submitted by North Carolinian school children. The list of books is then given to each school and public library throughout the state. During the course of the year, classroom teachers, media specialists and public librarians in North Carolina encourage children to become familiar with the nominees and vote for their favorite title in two categories: "Picture Book" and "Junior Book". The award is therefore truly a children's book award - selected by the children of the state of North Carolina!

Every student at Aversboro Elementary School is invited to vote for their favorite book to be the North Carolina Children’s Book Award winner! To be eligible to vote, all you have to do is read at least five of the books listed. That’s it! It even counts if someone reads a book to you!
