Nutmeg Book Award

The Nutmeg Book Awards are Connecticut's premiere recognition for outstanding children's literature, voted on by young readers across the state. Each year, children in grades 4-8 read quality literature and choose their favorite from a list of ten nominated titles in two categories. Children in Grades 4-6 participate in the Intermediate category, and readers in Grades 7 and 8 select from a list of Teen nominations. The Nutmeg Book Awards are jointly sponsored by the Connecticut Library Association (CLA) and the Connecticut Association of School Librarians (CASL). Here at the Ridgefield Library we offer Nutmeg Nibblers and Nutmeg Teen book discussions, author talks and plenty of copies of the nominated titles.
