Award-Winning
The books, people and programs the field decided to honor.
Award lists do real work at the desk. This is where they live, with the context that makes them useful rather than just impressive.
Why it earns its place
Four things a good award list is actually for.
-
Readers’ advisory
The list you reach for when someone asks what to read next.
-
Collection decisions
Evidence for a purchase order, and a defense if one is ever needed.
-
Display planning
A ready-made theme with recognizable covers and built-in interest.
-
Booktalks and programs
Titles a committee has already vetted, which saves a week of reading.

From the community
Every list leads back into a conversation.
Anyone can publish an award list. What you can’t get elsewhere is a hundred librarians discussing how they’re using it — in displays, book talks, purchasing and programs.
