The Illinois School Library Media Association (ISLMA) is sponsoring the creation of a new book award. “The Bluestem Award: Illinois’ 3-5 Children’s Choice Award”, designed for students in grades 3-5, will have an annual reading list that may contain non-fiction, timeless classics as well as current titles, biography, and other diverse and varied content titles appropriate for this age group.
The committee is in need of title nominations (by June 15, 2009) and volunteer readers. Reading will be done during 2009-2010 with the first Master List to be released for the 2010-2011 school year.
