Flicker Tale is a statewide library participation program encouraging readers and librarians to provide their input on a favorite read. At the end of the program, the book/author with the highest score is granted a North Dakota Library Association recognition award... the Flicker Tale! The Flicker Tale Committee chooses books in three categories: younger readers, middle readers and older readers. All of the young people (and the not-so-young people) can vote in any category they choose. Each participating school and library is responsible for tallying votes and submitting totals to the Flicker Tale Chair by the program deadline.
