Top Youth Books of 2024 to be Honored at Picked Out Youth Book Award
The Youth Reading Club and Landshut's students have been busy selecting the top youth books of 2024 for the prestigious Picked Out Youth Book Award. This annual event, patronised by Mayor Alexander Putz, aims to promote reading and literature among young people. The ceremony, featuring the winning books presented by the youth themselves, will be held on Thursday, September 25, at 6:30 PM in the City Library on Weilerstraße.
The Youth Reading Club, which has been part of the German Youth Literature Prize jury since 2003, has played a significant role in selecting the nominees. This year, the club and Landshut's students chose the top three youth books from 2024's new releases. The specific titles, however, could not be found in the provided search results.
The award ceremony will be followed by a champagne reception, open to all guests. Interested individuals can register for the event on the media portal at www.medienportal.our website or by phone at 0871-71054.
The Picked Out Youth Book Award, given annually since 2009, continues to inspire young readers and celebrate exceptional youth literature. Mayor Alexander Putz, following the legacy of the late author and translator Mirjam Pressler, supports the project as its patron. The ceremony on September 25 promises an engaging evening of literary appreciation and celebration.
