These books have been selected by
librarians working in public and school
libraries throughout New Jersey to be
the best published in 2013. Determine
the three most popular titles with the
children in your library in each of the
four categories. If you must, you may
use circulation figures, but please try
to get the children of your community
directly involved by setting up a ballot
box and displaying the nominated books.
After compiling your votes, write in the
first, second and third choices in each of
the four categories.
