Young Readers' Choice Award Program!

The Pennsylvania Young Readers' Choice Awards Program is an annual statewide program that gives students the opportunity to vote for their favorite authors.

To participate, email Mrs. Woolfrey between September and February.  Then, read three titles from the list of fifteen nominees. Copies of the books are available through the library, online through MackinVia, or through your local public library or any book retailer. Grier students vote before Spring Break and the Pennsylvania School Librarians Association declares winners in May.

Many titles are available in physical or ebook form through Grier Library.  See our collection!
