Lucas Maxwell writes: “The main reason I decided to start a book award in my school library was to highlight books I felt were awesome but were maybe not getting enough attention. I also wanted students to have more of a voice when it came to highlighting the great books we have in the library. In the end, it’s about their memories: I want the students to look back and remember that they had fun in the library and that they met a cool author and were maybe inspired to do something cool in return. Running a book award in your school library is a lot of work, but the benefits are huge.”
