Award description

Description
A joint project of the Maine Library Association, Maine Association of School Libraries, and Maine Literacy Council

In the decades since the Maine Student Book Award was initiated, more and more students across Maine have expanded their reading horizons. Join the fun!
The award is determined each year by participating Maine students in grades four through eight. The winning book is selected from a reading list that is compiled by the MSBA committee. Any interested readers - student, teacher, parent, librarian - may submit a book review for the committee's consideration for any fiction or nonfiction title published in the current year.
This is a general description. It is not a review.
