Here are the contenders for the 2023 Forest of Reading Evergreen Award

The Ontario Library Association’s Forest of Reading is excited to present this year’s nominees for its adult program, the Evergreen Award.

"This list will take some of our Evergreen readers outside of their comfort zone, but also help them to find those little gems they may not have found on their own. This list will also appeal to young readers who may not have read Evergreen previously." — Enid Wray & Julie Wendland, Co-Chairs, Evergreen Selection Committee

Readers can submit their votes for the award through September and the winner will be announced during Ontario Public Library Week in October.
