Maud Hart Lovelace  MN State Book Award Maud Hart Lovelace MN State Book Award

The Maud Hart Lovelace Book Award is a children's choice book award.  Its purpose is to encourage recreational reading among school age children.


"When I was ten my father, I hope at not too great expense, had printed a booklet of my earliest rhymes. Soon after, I started bombarding the magazines and sold my first story when I was eighteen."
-Maud Hart Lovelace

How It Works

Students in grades 3-5 who have read or listened to at least three titles from the Division I nominee list and students in grades 6-8 who have read or listened to at least three titles from the Division II nominee list are eligible to vote for the Maud Hart Lovelace Award.

Students vote for a favorite title in March, and ballots are submitted to the Minnesota Youth Reading Awards by April 1st. 

Scholar's Club

Students in grades 3-8 who have read or listened to six or more titles are invited to enjoy their lunch, dessert and some book discussion in the library after the winning titles have been announced.
