Results are in from the mid-term election, but New Hampshire’s youngest residents are now out in full force, voting for their favorite picture books to see which will win the 2014 Ladybug Picture Book Award.
Designed to promote early literacy, the Ladybug Picture Book Award honors the best in recent children’s picture books. Each year, a committee of children’s librarians from across the state selects 10 picture book titles that will appear on the Ladybug ballot.
Throughout November, New Hampshire children from preschool through third grade cast their ballots at their schools and public libraries. The Center for the Book at the New Hampshire State Library, coordinator of the program, tallies all the votes which, starting this year, can be submitted electronically.
Voting continues throughout November, and the winner will be announced in late December.
