Young Adult Book Award

  2004-05 Nominees
The Young Adult Book Award Nominees reflect the most popular books for high school students published within the past two years.  They are selected from over 150 books by a committee made up of a cross section of students, media specialists, teachers,  parents, administrators, public librarians, and college or university representatives. The top 20 are then offered to high school students across the state for voting on the one book they find to be most popular.  
After reading at least 3 of this year's nominees, vote for your favorite book at the display in the Library Information Center.  By reading at least 3 you are invited to join the RVHS Patron's Club.  See the "Patron's Club" web page or speak with a Library Media Specialist for more details.
