Belmont Hills Media Center Blog

We’ve spent the last few months reading the picture book nominees for the 2008-2009 Georgia Book Awards, and now the time to vote for our favorite Georgia Book Award book is almost here! We will begin voting in the Media Center on Monday, April 13, and voting will run through Wednesday, April 22.

Whether your class has heard one book or 13 books, we hope you’ll sign up for the chance to vote. We will announce the winner of this year’s Georgia Book Award on Friday, April 24, and we will send our school’s winner to the University of Georgia, where the winner for the whole state of Georgia will be decided!

To schedule your class to vote, you will need to sign up for a 15-minute slot, during which we will review the nominated books, and each student will get to cast his or her vote online.

For a complete list of nominees and descriptions of the books, go directly to our blog post located here.

Happy voting!
