Iowa Children's Choice Awards
2026-2027

Each year, the library purchases and showcases the Iowa Children's Choice Award winners. Youth in 3rd through 6th grade are encouraged to read the ICCA nominees and vote for the winner. Mid-Prairie Schools offer incentives for children who read the ICCA books, so be sure to ask a teacher to learn more.

The purpose of the Iowa Children's Choice Awards is:

To encourage children to read more
To provide an avenue for positive dialogue between teachers, parents, and children about books and authors
To give recognition to authors who write books for children
To provide children an opportunity to choose a book to receive the award
To offer an avenue for students to suggest books for the yearly reading list
