Statewide Readers' Choice Programs K-5th grade

| ||||||||
Both programs are sponsored by the Illinois School Library Media Association (ISLMA). Each year, a list of books is chosen by the statewide committee, and Carthage Public Library purchases and displays the books. Children who read or listen to the required number of books (5 for Monarch, 4 for Bluestem) can vote for their favorite. Voting occurs in February. 4th and 5th grade students can also participate in the Rebeccca Caudill awards list. The Pdf is attached above.
The 2020-21 statewide reading lists are now posted on the websites.
Many of the titles are available to download as e-books or audios from eread Illinois. If you are using a computer, after logging in, open the navigation menu (the 3 horizontal lines in the top left corner) and select Featured Lists. Unfortunately these lists are not visible from the mobile app.
