2016 Flume Award Nominations Now Being Accepted

It’s time to ask teens in grades 9-12 to consider nominating a title for the 2016 Flume Award list (even as they are now reading books on the 2015 list!).
Titles can be fiction or nonfiction books, with appeal to teens in grades 9-12. They must have a publication date within the last two years (no older than 2012). If the book is part of a series, it must be able to stand alone, meaning a reader doesn’t have to read the other books in the series to understand what’s going on.
Teens can submit their suggestions online by visiting the Flume page:
http://yals.nhlibrarians.org/book-awards/flume/
We will be accepting nominations until January 23, 2015.
Thank you for promoting the Flume Award!
