VSBA Challenge (January1 - May 19, 2023)

The Volunteer State Book Award is sponsored annually by the Tennessee Library Association and the Tennessee Association of School Librarians. Each year, children across Tennessee are asked to read books from a list of nominated titles. In the spring, those students who have read or listened to at least three of the titles from the list are eligible to vote for their favorite titles. To learn more, visit this link: https://sites.google.com/view/volunteer-state-book-award/home. Encourage your students to read the nominated titles and earn the corresponding digital badge in the Beanstack VSBA Challenge!
