Library display: ALA Youth Media Award winners

Counter-top display of books, arranged on stands with front covers facing outward: 'The Best at It' by Maulik Pancholy and '¡VAMOS! Let's Go to the Market' by Raul the Third. Next to them, at left, is a sign that reads, '2020 American Library Association Youth Media Awards Winners and Honor Books'

A definite highlight is the announcement each year of the Youth Media Awards, presented by the American Library Association during its midwinter meeting. To commemorate the latest celebration in “the best” among children’s literature, I looked for Medal winners and Honor books that were already present in our library, and I arranged them on a counter-top display. More books, having recently been ordered, are currently in processing. Throughout the library, I also put out books that were honored during previous years.
