Gate City Book Award
The Gate City Book Award is sponsored by the Elementary School Librarians of Nashua, New Hampshire. This award is given each year to the author whose book receives the most votes from third and fourth graders in Nashua.
For 2020-21 we have added 10 new titles to last year’s list. This will allow students a better opportunity to complete the original 20 books plus enjoy the 10 exciting, well-written and intriguing titles. Voting will take place in May 2021 in the elementary school libraries. Enjoy!
