StudentsYoung Reader’s Choice Awards

The Pacific Northwest Library Association's Young Reader's Choice Award is the oldest children's choice award in the U.S. and Canada.

Nominations are taken only from children, teachers, parents and librarians in the Pacific Northwest. Nominated titles are those published within the previous three years, printed in the U.S. or Canada, and are already favorites with readers. Only 4th to 12th graders in the Pacific Northwest are eligible to vote. See the librarian for information on voting and nominations.
