Volunteer State Book Awards (The Volunteer State Book Award is sponsored annually by the Tennessee Library Association in cooperation with the Tennessee Association of School Librarians. Each year, children are asked to read books from a list of nominated titles. In the Spring, those students who have read or listened to at least three of the titles from the list are eligible to vote for their favorite. These votes are tabulated and sent to the state organization. The book with the most votes statewide wins the award. The author of the book receives a plaque and is invited to Tennessee to receive the award.)
