Flicker Tale Award |
Flicker Tale is a statewide library participation program encouraging readers and librarians to provide their input on a favorite read. At the end of the program, the book/author with the highest score is granted a North Dakota Library Association recognition award... the Flicker Tale!
How does it work?
The Flicker Tale Committee has chosen books in three categories. You and/or your library's readers will not be restricted to any category based on age or grade level. Rather, we hope the categories will encourage children to read books of their choice at a particular interest or ability level. We encourage all of the young people (and the not-so-young people) to read the books and vote in any category they choose.
Please note: Participants do not have to vote on every category.
Each participating school and library is responsible for tallying votes and submitting totals to the Flicker Tale Chair by the program deadline. All ballots are due April 30th.
Please feel free to submit any book suggestions at any time using the Flicker Tale Nomination Form.
