KENSINGTON'S VOTES ARE IN!!!
GREAT STONE FACE AWARD
The Great Stone Face Book Award is sponsored by the Children's Librarians of New Hampshire (CHILIS) and is given each year to an author whose book receives the most votes from fourth through sixth graders throughout the state. Each year a committee chooses 25 recently published titles, which children then use as a guide for voting
CHECK OUT THE BOOKS AND VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE BY APRIL, 2008 [Link]
LADYBUG AWARD
The Ladybug Picture Book Award is designed to promote early literacy and honor the best in recent children's picture books. A committee of children's librarians from around the state selects 10 picture book titles early in the year. Then, during November, New Hampshire children from preschoolers to those in third grade choose the award winner. The winning picture book that was voted on November, 2007 is:The Secret Science Project that (almost) Ate the School by Judy Sierra.
This year's nominees have been chosen and we will have all the books available for children to look at.
