Every year the American Library Association forms a committee to select at the best contributions to the world of children's literature. The most notable of these medals are the Caldecott Medal to the artist of the best illustrations, the Newbery Medal for the best contribution to children's literature and in recent years they have added the Michael L. Printz Medal for best contribution to young adult literature. Click on the links above to see the entire list of winners and honor books.
This year's medal winners are:
A Ball for Daisy by Chris Raschka for the Caldecott, Dead End in Norvelt by Jack Ganto for the Newbery and Where Things Come Back by John Whaley for the Printz.
All these books are available or will soon be available in the Alachua County Library District Collection.
