Newbery Medal Books at Buley

The Newbery Medal is a yearly award that honors an outstanding contribution to American children’s literature. It is named after John Newbery, who was a bookseller in the 1700s, in England. Candidate books for the Newbery Medal must be published no later than the year prior to the award year in question. They also must be written by a US citizen or resident. Newbery Medal candidate books can be fiction, nonfiction or poetry. They are judged solely on their written material, and not by presentation of illustrations.
