Ladybug Nominations - Round 2

The first round of Ladybug Picture Book Award voting closed last week and we are ready to move on to round 2. Eighty-one people weighed in on the preliminary list of nominees and we have eliminated from consideration any title that did not get at least 10% of the total votes cast. All NH librarians are invited to cast a vote for the 10 titles from this short-list that they think should be nominated for the 2023 Ladybug Picture Book Award.

The Round 2 Ladybug Nomination Survey is now open and will remain open until Sunday, 3/26/2023.

These titles were suggested by NH librarians as nominees for the 2023 Ladybug Picture Book Award, were determined to be eligible for nomination, and received at least 10% of the votes in the first round of  voting. Titles marked with an asterisk (*) were longlisted in previous years.
