This week the American Library Association announced the latest Cauldecott and Newberry Award winners. Cauldecott awards are given to the artist of the most distinguished American picture book for children. The Newbery awards are given to the author of the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children.
We will be purchasing some of these newest medal winners soon. In the meantime, check out a previous medal winner or honor book from the Homer Library and you will have your name entered into a prize drawing! This is our latest reading incentive. You don't have to be a child to enjoy these books either. We will have many of these books on display but ask us for our full list and see what might interest you. You might be surprised!
