You can find the winners and runners up on our GSTBA book display in our Young Adult room.Look for 2011's nominees to be announced later in April.

The Garden State Teen Book Award nominees are chosen by librarians (including me) from all over New Jersey based on their literary excellence as well as their popularity with teens. Winners are chosen through ballot by the teens of New Jersey. (including you!)
