Since 1938 the Caldecott Medal has been awarded to the artist of the most distinguished picture book of the year by the Association of Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association.
This year marks the medal's 75th anniversary. A commemorative logo was created by Brian Selznick, illustrator of Frindle, Wonderstruck and The Invention of Hugo Cabret among other titles, to honor this literary milestone.
Visit the Children's room and check out our display of Caldecott Medal-winning books throughout the years, we even have a Caldecott Medal title from 1939 Mei Li. A brochure listing information about the Caldecott medal, the illustrator Ralph Caldecott, and all the winning titles from 1938 to the present can be found near the display.
All medal winning titles are available to take home.
Stop on by the Children's room and take one home today!
