| 2011 Newbery Medal Winner |
Every January the American Library Association announces the top books for the prior year for children and young adults at its midwinter meeting. The Caldecott Medal is given to outstanding illustrations and the Newbery Medal is give to the most outstanding contribution to children's literature. The Coretta Scott King Award is given to African-American illustrators and authors for outstanding contributions to children's literature. The Robert F. Sibert Medal is awarded for the most distinguished informational book for children. Finally, the Theodor Seuss Geisel Medal is awarded to the most distinguished beginning reader book. I have recently created an Amazon.com wish list for books that would improve the library collection at North Beach. Most of the books currently on the list are the 2011 ALA award winners. A great way to honor a student's birthday or other special occasion would be to add one of these notable books to our library's collection!
