Triple Crown Reading Award Program
Geneva began participation in this program in 2009. The program started in 1992 with a grant to a Christian school librarian in Austin and it has grown into a national program. The program's goals are to 1) promote wholesome literature; 2) prepare Christian minds; 3) present national and international authors; and 4) preserve youthful innocence. We have been very blessed to be able to participate in the program!
Students who have completed their lists will be invited to the library the last week of April to vote for their favorite book and the national book award winners will be announced second week of May.

New Books!
"Finding Winnie" is the story of a real bear named Winnie who would inspire the story of Winnie-the-Pooh after meeting a real boy named Christoper Robin at the London Zoo.
"Some Writer! The Story of E.B. White" is a beautiful tribute to the famous author of The Trumpet of the Swan, Charlotte's Web, and Stuart Little. It is full of beautiful illustrations, excerpts from his books, and a sweet telling of his life from a very young age. I can't wait to read this to the 3rd graders who read Charlotte's Web and Trumpet of the Swan this year!
"Lenny & Lucy" is a sweet story about a young boy who moves with his family to the other side of the forest and makes some new friends. Beautiful illustrations by the author's wife, Erin Stead, a previous Caldecott Medal winner for "A Sick Day for Amos McGee."
