February is right around the corner and that means that students across Illinois are casting their vote for their favorite books. Every year committees made up of librarians and educators from Illinois select 20 high quality and high interests titles to nominate for these awards. They then release the lists and kids start reading! Student can vote for the titles if their school has registered to participate in the awards and if they have read or heard at least 5 of the 20 titles. Voting aside, the books nominated for these awards represent the best of what has been published for children in the last 5 years. Feel free to explore the book lists for 2012 and come to RFPL to get any titles that catch your eye!
