For 100 years, the Newbery Medal has been awarded to an author for contributions to American literature for children.

Kids, register via solanolibrary.com/events for a special book chat on Zoom with Children’s Librarians on Wednesday, December 8^th at 4:00 pm. You will be sent a link to join.

Plus: imagine you’re on the Newbery Committee. Which 2021 book published by an American author will you choose? Learn more about how the books are chosen by visiting https://www.ala.org/alsc/awardsgrants/bookmedia/newbery.

Write a review with a photo of you and your Newbery contender! You can even send a video clip if you prefer. Send pictures, reviews, and video clips to us in a direct message on social media (@solanolibrary) or email your submissions to askus@splashlibraries.org.

Five participating kids will be drawn at random to select a free book!
