Ladybug 2024 Shortlist

The first round of Ladybug Picture Book Award voting closed earlier this week and we are ready to move on to round 2.

We have heard from many school libraries that fitting ten nominees into the time between the start of school and the December voting deadline is often quite difficult. Based on this feedback, we are going to select 9 nominees this year which we hope will ease some of the stress of scheduling story times for each nominated book.

Ninety-three people weighed in on the long list of nominees and we have eliminated from consideration any title that did not get at least 9% of the total votes cast. This left us with a shortlist of 20 titles from which NH librarians are invited to vote for the 9 titles that they think should be nominated for the 2024 Ladybug Picture Book Award.

The Final Round 2024 Ladybug Nomination Survey is now open and will remain open until Sunday, 3/24/2024. 

PLEASE NOTE that you can only vote once from your device (phone, computer, whatever you use to browse the web) so don't preview the survey, as you will not be able to go back again to vote.

To help make sure as many people as possible in the NH library community have an opportunity to check out these books before voting for the final nominees we have linked each of the titles below to a video of the book being read. We did not create any of these videos; they are from a variety of sources. Where there was a version available read by the author we chose that, otherwise we chose the best depiction of the book that we could find.
