SC+Picture+Book+Award

The South Carolina Picture Book Award is sponsored by the South Carolina Association of School Librarians. Each year a list of twenty books is selected by a committee of librarians, teachers and students in South Carolina. This list is published and advertised so that students can read the books and vote for their favorite book on the list each February. The winner, solely selected by the students of South Carolina, is announced in March each year. There are four book award categories: Picture Book (K-3), Children's Book (3-6), Junior Book (6-9), and Young Adult (9-12).
