What Is The Silver Birch Award?

In library today, B noticed that the non-fiction booke he took out had a special sticker on it that said "silver birch award official selection."  He was wondering what it was, so when we got back to the classroom we had a chat about it. 

We found out that the silver birch award is an award given to books that received the most votes.  The best part is, that it's students who get to do the voting.  The award is offered by the Ontario Library Association.  There are a list of fiction, non-fiction, and express titles.  If you are interested in seeing the list of titles go to : www.accessila.org then click on Current Years Nominees.  This will give you a list of books for this year and winners in previous years.

Happy Reading!
