The Towner Award is the Washington state award for nonfiction picture books written for 2nd-6th grade students. In the spring, all Washington State students in public and independent schools, from second through sixth grades, are invited to vote for their favorite book. Student votes are submitted by school and public librarians. The Towner Awards Committee will offer multiple readings of award-winning selections between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM.
