Book Awards St Helens (BASH) is the annual book award scheme run by St Helens Schools Library Service, where children and young people are encouraged to read modern and enticing fiction, written specially for them.
Through a series of library-based workshops, and by debate and critical appreciation, the students vote for their favourite book and choose a winner.
Each year there is a special BASH celebration event at a library, when the winning title is announced by a prominent children’s author.
St Cuthbert's Library Ambassadors have taken part in two years of BASH now and have thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a fantastic opportunity for children and young people to meet some of their favourite authors and help them develop a love of reading.
