Ladybug Ballots are Available

The picture ballots, tally sheet, and sticker order form are now available on the Ladybug Picture Book Award website. This year's deadline is NOVEMBER 30, 2007. Ballots received after the deadline will NOT be counted.

New Hampshire children from pre-school to third grade are invited to choose the Ladybug Picture Book Award winner by voting in November.

To be a polling site:

• Read the ten nominated titles to the eligible voters (or have older kids read the books to them)
• Have the children vote for their favorites (there is a picture ballot you can use, or a show of hands works well in many places)
• Count the votes and record them on the tally sheet and send it to the address indicated on the top of the sheet by November 30, 2007

If you want to use them, there are stickers available for purchase (an order form is on the website) to give the children when they vote and to use for labelling the nominated titles. Sticker sales help to pay the costs of the Ladybug Award.
