  ALA | About the Newbery Medal
The inscription on the Newbery Medal still reads "Children's Librarians' Section," although the section has changed its name four times and its membership now includes both school and public library children's librarians in contrast to the years 1922-58, when the section, under three different names, included only public library children's librarians.
The Newbery Award thus became the first children's book award in the world. Its terms, as well as its long history, continue to make it the best known and most discussed children's book award in this country.
Such books were referred to as Newbery or Caldecott "runners-up." In 1971 the term "runners-up" was changed to "honor books." The new terminology was made retroactive so that all former runners-up are now referred to as Newbery or Caldecott Honor Books.

The Newbery Medal, along with the Caldecott Medal, are the most prestigious awards in children's literature.

 Daily Herald - Salt Lake children's author receives Newbery Honor
"The Newbery Award is -- and has been for decades -- the single most prestigious award given to authors who write for children or teenagers," Crowe said.
The Newbery has such a powerful effect on the life of the winning books because teachers and librarians rely heavily on the list of Newbery Medalists and Honor Books for recommended reading and for inclusion in classroom and library collections."
After getting news of the award, "I felt my whole life so utterly changed that I actually had a moment when I realized that getting the Newbery Honor didn't mean anyone was going to come over and mop my bathroom floor," she said.
