The Newbery Medal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) |
 | | 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. |
 | | Each year, the winners of the Newbery medal and honor books are announced by the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC), a division of the American Library Association, during the association's midwinter meeting. |
 | | The Newbery Medal, along with the Caldecott Medal, are the most prestigious awards in children's literature. |
