The Flume: NH Teen Reader’s Choice Award was created in 2005 in response to a New Hampshire teen’s request to have a book award geared towards high school students. This award is a state-wide venture led by a collaborative effort from school and public librarians. Each year teens in grades 9-12 nominate titles, published within the last two years, they think deserve to be recognized. Librarians narrow the group of titles to a shorter list. Teens then vote for the winning title from that list. Visit the NH YALS Flume Award page for more information and up to date lists of the current nominees for voting! Voting for the 2023 Flume Award

What Is the Isinglass Award?
The Isinglass Teen Read Award was begun in 2001 by the Barrington Public Library and the Barrington Middle School in order to promote teen reading, the participation of teens in the creation of their own reading list, and to honor those authors whose work speaks to youth. The award is now open to all New Hampshire students in grades 7-8. Voting is done annually in April. Visit the NH YALS Isinglass Award page for more information and up to date lists of the current nominees for voting! Vote for the 2023 Isinglass Award
