Reading Link Challenge Book Selection

Reading Link Challenge books are chosen by a panel of library staff from FVRL and partnering libraries. Committee members are selected based on their experience and expertise in children’s literacy. We strive to choose a set of books that will appeal to a wide audience. The team actively looks for books that:

• include multicultural content and celebrate diversity as integral to an inclusive, vibrant community
• received positive reviews in library journals
• appeal to boys and girls
• vary in reading level
• are available in paperback.
