A reminder about us

The ABAs

Student Voice is KEY

Voted for by the readers

Established in 2011 by four West Sussex School Librarians the Amazing Book Awards, aka The ABAs, were created to give local students a strong personal voice. The first essential rule of the awards was, only the students’ votes count. No panel could override or veto their decisions. Student voice is key. The cornerstone of the awards.

It’s personal!
