It's time to vote for the 2025 Minnesota Youth Reading Awards (MYRA)!
The MYRA Awards are kids' choice awards. Each year, MYRA releases a list of youth book nominees in two categories:
- The Star of the North Award (SOTN) for picture books
- The Maud Hart Lovelace Award, Div I and II (MHL), for the best juvenile novels.
Children in grades 3-5 and 6-8 can vote for their favorite books from a list of nominees at their school or in participating public libraries. Voting for 2025 is open through Tuesday, March 18.
The MYRA nominee titles offer opportunities for Minnesota youth to see themselves and others in the pages, make new connections, and engage with and enjoy the world of reading. Check out the list of nominees and start voting today!
