WAYRBA - West Australian Young Readers Book Awards

Add to my lists | Print this list

WAYRBA stands for West Australian Young Readers’ Book Award.
The award is announced in November.
Officially launched in March 1980, the Award was established by the School Libraries Section (WA Group) of ALIA.

The Award aims to:

  • Promote reading.
  • Give recognition to those who read and write children’s literature.
  • Provide a focus for the mutual interest of those concerned with children and their literature.
  • Provide a balance to adult selected awards
It operates on two levels, Younger Readers and Older Readers, with participation by both public and school libraries throughout the state. A presentation night is held to announce the winning books and groups of students present a dramatisation of each winning title.
