In mid-January, members of the American Library Association met in Baltimore for their annual wintertide conference. A highlight comes at the end of the long weekend when the Youth Media Awards are announced. These are essentially the “Oscars” of the Children’s & YA book world, and those chosen to be lauded were rich in surprises. The Children’s & YA Librarians have carefully examined our collection and are happy to share that we currently have over 50 of the award-winning books and will likely add more as we continue to explore the victorious titles.
