What is the ORA Patricia
Gallagher Book Award?
The award is a children’s
choice award founded in 1997. It is named for Patricia Gallagher,
a retired Western Oregon professor of children’s literature
who is a former president of ORA. Gallagher is an active volunteer
at the Monmouth Public Library and serves on the committee to choose
the award finalists. It is the goal of the Oregon Reading Association,
a professional organization of nearly 4000 members, to promote literacy
and love of reading.
How are the books
chosen?
