The Manitoba School Library Association
marked the International Year of Literacy, 1990, with the
implementation of a literacy program aimed at promoting literacy for
children of ages 10 to 14 years of age.
The
Manitoba Young Readers' Choice Awards
(MYRCA) program presents 15 to 20 Canadian novels written in English
for the targeted young readers. Those young people who have read or
heard a minimum of 3 nominated titles vote for their favourite title in
April. The winning title and honour books are announced in May and
celebrated at an awards ceremony in October.
This week's press release which announced the winners for 2014 also announced the
shortlist of nominated titles for the 2015 MYRCA. Congratulations to the authors and publishers of these eighteen nominees:
