North Carolina Children's Book Award (NCCBA)

Picture

This program is sponsored by NCSLMA and the Children’s Services and School Librarian sections of the North Carolina Library Association.  To register for the NCCBA program and to access the Activity Booklet, please go to http://www.cmlibrary.org/bookhive/NCCBA/.

The PICTURE BOOK CATEGORY honors a picture book, suitable for grades K-3. This award is intended to broaden students' awareness of current literature for youth, to promote reading aloud with students in the early grades as a means of introducing reading as a pleasure, and to recognize and honor children's favorite books and authors.

The purpose of the JUNIOR BOOK CATEGORY is to encourage students in grades 4 through 6 to become better acquainted with noteworthy writers of contemporary books, to broaden their awareness of literature as a means of personal satisfaction and as a lifelong pursuit, and to give recognition and honor to their favorite books and authors.

Children throughout the state vote during the month of March for their favorite book from the nominated lists. Winners from previous school years are listed below. These awards are presented annually during the fall NCSLMA conference in Winston-Salem.
