Kids’ Choice Award

The Kids’ Choice Award program is a partnership between Bridges Library System, Jefferson County and Waukesha County libraries, and local area schools that promotes a love of reading and appreciation for books to fourth, fifth, and sixth graders. Each year, students are encouraged to read from a selection of 15 books and vote for their favorites using an online voting system.

Students who read 3 or more of the books can vote for their favorites. Voting has ended for the 2023-2024 Award.

 

And the 2023-2024 winners are…

Congratulations to all who participated in reading, voting, and nominating books.
