We have our Final Four! Thank you to everyone who has voted. Some of you are coming into the library, and some of you are voting online. Only you can decide who goes on to the last round and becomes the undisputed 2022 APL Tournament of Book Champions by voting on our poll!   

The second week ended with a total of more than 1,000 votes in our three categories – Picture Books, Teen Books, and Adult Books. Did your favorites advance to the Final Four? Remember to vote for your favorite books to help them advance to the Champtionship Game. This round closes at midnight on Monday, March 21st and next Tuesday there will be a new bracket. Four brackets in all – Sweet 16, Elite 8, Final 4, and THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME which will determine the 2022 Book Winners for the Anacortes Public Library. There will be prize winners at the end for each age group – children, teens, and adults.

Voting

Picture Books – Children's  
Vote for your favorites each week, from the most popular titles checked out from our library here and your school libraries. See information below about getting entered in the prize drawing!
 
There are two ways you can vote – at home or in the library. We have a copy of each picture book in the Dr. Sylvia Maxson Children’s Library. You can stop by anytime the library is open to read the book there (no checkouts on these copies during March so everyone can read them.) You can also watch the stories at home using the links to each book here. You can vote using this link or at the designated computer when you’re at the library.



Teen Books – Teens
