Calling all Mercer County Teens …

Vote for the 2011 Garden State Teen Book Awards!

Back in February, Andrea L. posted the winners for the 2010 Garden State Teen Book Awards. Now YOU can be a part of selecting the 2011 winners!

The Garden State Teen Book Award is a project of the Young Adult Section of the New Jersey Library Association. New Jersey teens are invited to vote for their favorite books in three categories:

• FICTION: Grades 6-8;


• FICTION: Grades 9-12; and


• NON-FICTION: Grades 6-12.
  

The 2011 Garden State Teen Book Awards ballot lists twenty nominees for each category, based on teen appeal and quality of writing. Votes will be collected through January 8, 2011, and the winners will be announced in February 2011. Teens are welcome either to vote online or to submit the downloadable ballot.

This is your award, representing the choices of the New Jersey teenagers. Make sure you cast your vote!
