The Buckaroo Book Award provides an opportunity for Wyoming youth in kindergarten, first, second, and third grades to choose their favorite book from a list of 10 nominees and honor its author.
The Buckaroo Book Award is unique in that Wyoming students nominate the books as well as vote for the award winner. The philosophy of the Buckaroo Book Award is to empower students to recognize and read quality contemporary children’s literature.
The Buckaroo Book Award is sponsored by the Wyoming Library Association and the Wyoming State Literacy Association.
