• California Young Reader Medal Program

    CYRM logo

     
    "The California Young Reader Medal program encourages recreational reading of popular literature among the young people of our state. Since its inception in 1974, millions of California children have nominated, read, and voted for the winners of the California Young Reader Medal."
     
    We will begin reading the nominated picture books in January, 2018, after the Newbery and Caldecott Medals are awarded.
