It’s April, and that means it is time for the children of
Connecticut to vote for the Nutmeg Book Award winners! The Nutmeg Book Award
encourages children in grades 2-12 to read quality literature and to choose
their favorite from a list of nominated titles. The nominees are chosen
by committees of public and school librarians from across the state. There are now
four divisions: Elementary for grades 2-4 (new this year and the only division
that includes nonfiction), Intermediate for grades 4-6, Teen for grades 7-8,
and High School for grades 9-12. It is Connecticut’s own book award. To
help make voting easy, the Ridgefield Library has put Nutmeg Book Award ballots
online. You can see a link to them if you stop by our Facebook page, or if you
follow us on Twitter, or on the Library’s website. Students who are not voting
at school are encouraged to vote online using our ballot. Please only vote
once, either at school OR online. The winning books will be announced on May
15, and the new list of nominees will come out at that time as well. Spring is
Nutmeg Book Award time!
