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. PDF's are attached above
