Marianne Mirando, Westerly High School
Promote quality literature for
teens by highlighting wellwritten books of interest to
middle and high school
students.
Allowing teens to select the
winner from each year's list of
nominees encourages them to
read more and discuss the
books with their friends and
family at school, the local
library, and at home.
This year there were 38 members of the
committee with librarians, teachers, reading
specialists, and media specialists all represented
The committee is adjourned from September
through March to compile the list of nominees
based on the reading of suggested titles and
discussions online and in meetings
As you can imagine, there are some
intense discussions.
Do you know which book won this year’s election?
