ALA Award Winners





















The American Library Association posted tne 2010 winners for its many catagories of awards. I immediately added appropriate winners to my intended purchase lists, if they weren't already there.


Perhaps the most famous award is the Newbery. The winner and two of the runners-up are just right for the Prairieview Library.



The winner is When You Reach Me. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate and The Mostly True Adventures of Homer P. Figg are the two runners-up that work well for Prairieview.


The Caldecott Medal is also a very well-known award. It is given for the best illustrations. The winner and the two runners-up are both going to be added to the Elizabeth Ide collection.
The Lion & The Mouse was the winner, with All the World and Red Sings from Treetops qualifying as runners-up
