The librarians of Union 28 and Amherst Elementary Schools have created a Massachusetts Children’s Book Awards MASH UP list (to make sure that all of our students find many great things to read).
Students in Grades 4-6 who read at least 5 of the books will be eligible to:
1. Vote on the winner of the 2017 Massachusetts Children’s Book Award Winner!
2. Attend the 2017 Books In Action party in the spring.
Happy Reading!
All of the books will be available at the LES Library. All but one are available as an eBook (noted with an ‘e‘ below). Some are available as downloadable audiobooks (noted with an ‘aud‘ below). The Leverett Library will also make the books available–and they have audio too.
