2021 - 2022
The Pura Belpré Books Club is an exciting way to bring diverse literature into the lives of our students. The Pura Belpré Award is presented to a Latino/Latina writer and illustrator whose work best portrays, affirms, and celebrates the Latino cultural experience in an outstanding work of literature for children and youth.
The award is named after the beloved NYC Public Librarian Pura Belpré.
Students are asked to read from the list provided. Book titles were chosen carefully, including books of varying authors and genres. All titles are Pura Belpré Award winners or honor books.
To participate, students are asked to create a project after reading a title from the list.
You can find a guide to coompleting the projects HERE.
Students are rewarded and recgnized within our school community with every book read and project completed.
The deadline for reading all 10 books and completing all 10 projects is January 14, 2022.

Bluestem Award Book Club
2019 - 2020
2019 - 2020
The Bluestem Award is designed for students in grades 3-5 who are ready for longer titles than found on the Monarch list, but not quite ready for the sophistication of some of the Rebecca Caudill titles.
Named in honor of Big Bluestem, which is the Illinois state Prairie grass, the award may include both timeless classics and current titles, as well as books that have appeared on the Monarch and Rebecca Caudill lists.
Students are challenged to read 5 Bluestem books (or more!) and complete a project for each.
The project choices are: slide show, 90 Second Summary, or an art project of their choice.
Each project has to show understanding of book's plot, characters and message. The deadline for reading 5 books is January 27, 2020. A celebratory lunch will be held for those who complete the challenge
All titles will be available in our school library, the North Branch and the Main Branch of the EPL.
Ebooks and audio books are available.
