The COOL Awards is an annual children's choice award voted on by students in Canberra, the Australian Capital Territory, Australia.[1] Children are encouraged to read and vote for their favourite books. The votes are tallied and the awards made.
The COOL Award name is an acronym, standing for Canberra’s Own Outstanding List.
The ACT Public Library currently convenes the awards and they are administered by a committee representing ACT Government, Catholic and Independent Schools, the ACT Public Library and the Children's Book Council of Australia, ACT Branch.[1] The award was first made in 1991.[2]
