Vermont Book Awards – Brownell Library
Vermont Book Awards
Each year a group of Vermont librarians and educators nominate some of the best books published in the last few years for the Red Clover, Golden Dome, and Green Mountain Book Awards. Vermont students then have the chance to read and vote for the best book from each list. The current year’s books are available for checkout.
Brownell also offers book groups for each list on the third Tuesday of each month (October-March), 1:30-2:30pm.
