• Each year, 20 books are chosen for the Texas Bluebonnet Award List by schools and libraries. Students who read at least five books before January 2, 2023 can participate in state voting and the Bluebonnet Breakfast in January. Students are responsible for choosing and checking out their own books. Library staff will not choose for them or hold books, unless the hold request is entered via the library catalog. 

     

    For each book and quiz completed, students receive a badge for their lanyard or backpack and a prize from the treasure chest. CLICK HERE to download a chart to track your reading or pick one up in the library.

  • Program guidelines and procedures:

    • Students may only check out one program book at a time.

    • Quizzes turned in by Thursday night each week will be graded on Friday, and treasure chest tickets will be delivered to teachers every Monday morning. Students should understand that sometimes there will be delays due to schedules and other responsibilities, but prizes will be deliverered as soon as possible. 

    • Treasure chest tickets can be redeemed during open library in the mornings and during class library visits.

    • Parents or siblings may read books and questions to the student, and type in verbal responses, but the answers should be those of the student only.

    • If a student scores less than 70% on any quiz, the quiz will be reset and the student will need to retake the quiz. Students may reference the book during the quiz.

    • Quizzes are to be completed at home. If a student does not have internet access at home, they may complete the quiz in open library, but they will need to arrive early enough to have ample time to complete it (as close to 7:30 AM as possible).

    • Lost tickets will not be replaced. If a student completes all 20 books, they may request any missing badges at the end of the year.

    • The last day to submit quizzes for the 2022-2023 school year is April 28, 2023.
