Award encourages the publication and widespread use of quality Judaic
literature. Gold medals are presented in three categories: Younger Readers, Older Readers, and Teen Readers. Honor Books are awarded silver medals, and Notable Books are named in each category. Bialik Library has all Teen Readers Awards in its collection.
