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 will take place Monday, January 25 – Friday, February 12, 2027.
