Lincoln Book List

Each year, 20 books are nominated for the Lincoln Award and then voted on by teens in ninth through twelfth grade in Illinois. The Lincoln Award is designed to encourage reading for enjoyment and to become lifelong readers. It helps teens become familiar with young adult and adult authors and books. The award is named after former President and one of Illinois’ most famous residents, Abraham Lincoln, who was an avid reader and noted author. 

For every five 2024 Lincoln nominees that you read and turn in by May 15, 2024, you will earn a special Lincoln scratch-off ticket for a chance at prizes and get entered in the grand-prize drawing! Stop in the library today to pick up your checklist!
