Sasquatch Reading Award

Sasquatch Reading Award is the Washington Library Media Award for chapter books, grades 4-8. Any child who reads or has read to them two titles, may vote.
The actual award is a pewter goblet with the logo, the author's name, the title of the book and the year engraved. The Washington Children's Choice Award is a small pewter plate. Both awards are presented at the Fall WLMA state conference and then mailed to the winners, if not present.
