The Teen 3 Apples Book Award
A New York State Teen's Choice Award
Welcome to the Teen 3 Apples Book Award
The Teen 3 Apples Book Award has been developed to encourage the joy of reading for pleasure, and to give the teens of New York State the opportunity to participate in honoring their favorite books.
It is co-sponsored by the Youth Services and School Library Media Sections of the New York Library Association, which together represent the public and school libraries of the state.
Each year teens in grades 7-12 (ages 13+) nominate their favorite book, creating a statewide ballot of fifteen of the most popular titles. After reading or listening to at least three of the nominated books, the teens vote to select one as their favorite. That book and its author are honored with the presentation of the Teen 3 Apples Book Award, and celebrations take place across the state in school and public libraries.
Thanks to the Three Apples Storytelling Festival for generously allowing us to use a name similar to theirs.
