Dorothy's List and GMBA

The Canfield Fisher Book Award (D.L. or "Dorothy's List" for short) and GMBA (Green Mountain Book Award) are awarded each spring by Vermont students who read from books on the lists and vote for their favorite. Below are the lists for 2014- 2015.  By clicking on the images below you can also go to our catalog to see the books' covers, read a brief description about them, and see if a copy is available for checkout.  All of the books will be on display in the library for the entire school year.

The 2016 - 2017 winner is:  The Terrible Two by Mac Barnett.  The War That Saved My Life was a close 2nd place winner, with only 8 fewer votes!
