The Young Readers' Choice program is a reading program for students in grades 4 through 12 in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States and western Canada. The junior division is for students in grades 4-6, the intermediate division is for students in grades 7-9, and the senior division is for students in grades 10-12. Any student who reads or hears at least 3 (this is a change, in the past it was 2) titles in any division is eligible to vote in that division. At Woodlands Library we concentrate on the junior division, but usually carry at least some of the intermediate division titles too.  Of course, you're always welcome to read the complete list from the public library.
