  4. The full list of #ALA Youth Media Award honorees is now posted. The #Newbery medal (which went to “The Eyes and the Impossible,” by Dave Eggers) and the #Caldecott medal (which went to “Big" by Vashti Harrison) are the best-known awards. But there are also lots of other awards honoring notable books and other creations of the past year. Check them out! ala.unikron.com/ #Bookstodon #Library #awards

  5. While we're waiting for the new awardees, I'll note that all books awarded #Newbery medals and honors in the 1920s are now freely readable online. You can find them here: onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/

  6. FREEWATER Review: 5⭐ - A beautifully written, pretty much perfect #middlegrade adventure. Amina Luqman-Dawson takes inspiration from stories of 19th-century Black Americans living independently in the vast southern swampland where they kept themselves safe from the predation of plantations and the bounty hunters they employed.

  7. I follow the Newberys in particular because I read a lot of the winners as a kid, and they're the oldest and one of the best-known ALA awards. The 1928 #Newbery honorees just joined the public domain at the start of this month; online copies of them, earlier awardees, and selected later ones can be found here: onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/. But the other, newer ALA awards are definitely worth checking out too.

  8. #ALA Youth Media awards are out! _Freewater by Amina Luqman-Dawson wins the #Newbery Medal, and there were 3 Newbery honorees. And a bunch more books got various other awards. Here's the ALA press release mentioning them all: ala.org/news/press-releases/20 And here's more information on the awards: ala.org/news/mediapresscenter/ #Bookstodon

  9. @simon As a Children's Librarian who has encouraged his hundreds of #author friends (I've been on #Newbery Committee three times, they stack up), I have to say those people who think self-promotion of an author's #books here is wrong...are...well WRONG.
