Don’t forget to make your nominations for the 2025 Buckeye Children’s and Teen Book Awards!
The Buckeyes are one of the few state reader’s choice awards in which students get to nominate the titles as well as vote on the final winners. The only adults who may submit nominations or votes are teachers and librarians who are representing a group of students from their school or library. This allows the Buckeyes to be truly a student-chosen award in all aspects.
Congratulations to Brooke Yoder, from Chestnut Ridge Elementary School, for winning our Social Media Book Giveaway!
We would also like to congratulate the following four Ohio librarians/teachers, who won a set of Buckeye Award books in a random drawing of all Ohio teachers and librarians who submitted their students’ votes in our 2024 election.
Selena M. Vazquez, Hawthorne Elementary School
Shellie Ball, Blacklick Elementary
Lisa Carroll, University School
Trina Marion, Ohio Ave. Elementary
Thank you to all who entered the social media book giveaway and/or submitted student votes for the Buckeyes!
