The New York Library Association (NYLA) announced on May 18, the 2019 kids choice 3 Apples Book Award winners. The nominated titles are generated by kids, for kids, in three separate categories: Young Reader’s (UPK - 2nd grade), Children’s (grades 3-6), and Teen (grades 7-12).
"We provide knowledge that students need to know about navigating a complex information landscape,” says Michael Dodes, a school librarian who now works as a library operations and instructional coordinator in the city Department of Education’s Office of Library Services. “We focus on three pillars: inquiry, or the process of problem-solving; reading for pleasure and purpose; and social responsibility, or how to use information responsibly.”
