Gateway Book Award Program
This book award program is sponsored and supported by the Missouri Association of School Librarians.
Vision
Because reading is the gateway to knowledge and lifelong learning, because the teen years are the gateway to adulthood, and because Missouri was the Gateway to the West, the Gateway Readers Award is for authors of books chosen by high school students in Missouri in grades 9-12.
Our latest list of books in the form of a reading log can be located on the Quick Links on this page.
Promotion
Students must read 3 of the 15 books to be eligible to vote in early March. All eligible voting students will be invited to a voting party. If the student reads 5 or more he/she will receive a certificate of achievement. Students who read all 15 may be eligible for a gift card or other suitable reward.
