Since 1922 the John Newbery Medal has been awarded to "the author of the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children". Each year a committee of librarians, book sellers, reviewers, and professionals who belong to the American Library Association's (ALA) Association for Library Services to Children (ALSC) meet in January to determine the winner. This hardworking committee has read an overwhelming number of books and face an extremely difficult decision.
You can read the award criteria here.

The King County Library System started its own Mock Newbery Board in 2005 as a professional development opportunity for Children's Librarians.

For the first time we invite parents and children to participate in our discussion and voting. Add your comments to blog posts and email your 2009 book suggestions to newberysuggestions@kcls.org.
