Books are nominated by the public in ten genres of children's and young adult literature: Book Apps, Easy Readers & Short Chapter Books, Fantasy & Science Fiction, Fiction Picture Books, Graphic Novels, Middle Grade Novels, Non-Fiction Middle Grade/Young Adult Books, Non-Fiction Picture Books, Poetry, and Young Adult Novels. Nominees go through two rounds of panel-based judging before a winner is announced in each category. Finalists and winners are selected on the basis of literary merit and kid appeal.{{Cite web |date=2009-02-17 |title=Gaiman, Lockhart Nab Cybils – 2/17/2009 – School Library Journal |url=http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/article/CA6637741.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090220091545/http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/article/CA6637741.html |archive-date=2009-02-20 |access-date=2023-03-21 |website=School Library Journal}}
