Texas Bluebonnet Award 2021

Every year Texas librarians create a list of 20 books for children in 3rd through 6th grade throughout Texas.  Kids who read at least 5 of these 20 titles by January 2021 get to vote for their favorite.  Votes are tallied and the winner is announced in March at the Texas Library Association's annual conference.  This is a unique award as the winner is selected by kids. Double-click on the picture of the book to search our catalog and see if it is available.  Call the library to participate and vote for your favorite Texas Bluebonnet nominee book!
