The Sequoyah Book Awards program encourages the students of Oklahoma to read books of literary quality. The first Sequoyah Children's book Award was given in April, 1959. The books on the Sequoyah Masterlists are selected by the Sequoyah Reading Teams for literary excellence and appropriateness of content for the age group. These masterlists are not intended to be an automatic recommendation of the books.

This year's Sequoyah events begin the first week in October. Remember, there's a party in April for everyone who reads at least five books from the list. -- Mrs. Morgan

Sequoyah created the Cherokee syllabary, 86 symbols representing the different sounds in the Cherokee language. A statue of him represents Oklahoma in the United States Capitol in Washington, D. C. Sequoyah, Cherokee for "Lame One," was also known by his English name, George Guess. The Oklahoma Library Association honors Sequoyah with the annual award which is chosen by Oklahoma students.
