Book Selection Resources

Reading is an essential part of an individual's growth and education. In order to promote a love of reading and the habit of reading, we feel it is important for students to read books that bring them joy and pleasure. Becoming a lifelong reader also means learning to select books from the many choices available.  Besides recommendations from teachers, school librarians, and local public librarians, the selection resources listed below offer useful guides to quality literature. And don’t forget the joy of reading aloud with your friends and loved ones. 

The following links take you to the official web sites for a number of the most prominent book awards to help you make reading selections.
