The Great Stone Face Reader's Award
 On May 6 of this year, the winner of the 2010-2011 Great Stone Face Award was announced. Over 4,600 children from 74 school and town libraries across the state cast their votes for their favorite from a list of 25 chapter books---and the winner was- Murder at Midnight by Avi, a mystery set in medieval Italy.
The books on the Great Stone Face list are selected by children's librarians from around the state, and are intended for children in grades 4-6.
The 2011-2012 list has been published, and copies of the books are already available for borrowing, so come on down to the Children's Room and check 'em out!
