First begun in 1974, the Young
Hoosier Book Award exists to encourage recreational reading in
Indiana students. Since 1992, the Award has been divided into
three categories based on grade level: Kindergarten-3rd grade,
4-6th grade and 6-8th grade. Each year teachers, students, parents
and media specialists submit suggestions to the Young Hoosier
Book Award Committee, which is composed of AIME (Association
for Indiana Media Educators) members.
