What is the ORA
Patricia Gallagher Book Award?
The award is a children’s
choice award founded in 1997. It is named for Patricia Gallagher,
a retired Western Oregon professor of children’s literature
who is a former president of ORA. Gallagher is an active volunteer
at the Monmouth Public Library and serves on the committee
to choose the award finalists. It is the goal of the Oregon
Reading Association, a professional organization of nearly
4,000 members, to promote literacy and a love of reading.
How are the books
chosen?
A committee of ORA
leaders, school librarians, public librarians, teachers, and
school administrators review and select the books. The books
must be readily available in paperback, be no more than four
years old, hold an innate appeal to children, and have quality
text and illustrations.
Who may vote?
Oregon school children
of all ages.
When to vote?
Voting will occur between
September, 2007 and April, 2008.
Votes must be reported by May 1, 2008
