IASL Iowa Children's Choice and Teen Choice Nominees Announced

View the nominees for the IASL (Iowa Association of School Libraries) Iowa Children's Choice online. The nominees for the Teen Award have not been posted online. If you'd like to see a full list, feel free to email us at SLS!

If your library is interested in purchasing the titles, there is a way to get the books for less money! To do so, please wait on your ordering until the AEA receives all the bids and releases the winner (mid-December on the IEC website; we'll try to remind you!). Vendors compete to give us a low price on a set of the books. This past year those who ordered saved almost $90 off the list price for a complete set and received a free poster. Using this discount, libraries in the state of Iowa saved a total of $47,113.44 last year. Please help the group continue to get these great prices by supporting the winning vendor.
