Louisiana Kids Vote for Next Great Reads | Baton Rouge News

Louisiana’s young readers are about to dive into a literary frenzy—this year’s Readers’ Choice list, announced a full year ahead, features 86 starred reviews and 58 “Best of the Year” picks, curated by librarians statewide to ignite imaginations. Over half a million students have already logged more than 1.6 million books since 1999, with last year’s 26,000 kids devouring nearly 90,000 titles. Students vote on books they’ve read or listened to, and winners are chosen purely by their voices—with even the Secretary of State lending a hand via voting machines. It’s not just about reading—it’s about empowering kids to shape their own literary journeys. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
