California Young Reader Medal
|
The California Young Reader Medal Program encourages recreational reading of popular literature among the young people of our state. Young people recommend their favorite books for consideration, or teachers and librarians note popular titles and these are submitted to the CYRM committee for nomination. Since its inception in 1974, millions of California children have nominated, read, and voted.
