The Sunshine State Young Reader's Award Program is a statewide reading motivation program for students in grades 3-8. The program, cosponsored by the School Library Media Services Office of the Florida Department of Education and the Florida Association for Media in Education (FAME), began in 1983.

The Sunshine State Young Reader's Award Program (SSYRA) is coordinated by library media specialists in schools participating in the program. All schools are sent a school participation form in August and registration, activities, and voting are available online for participating schools. Individual teachers are encouraged to work with their library media specialist in implementing the school's program.
