Every year, on the Monday morning of the American Library Association Midwinter Meeting, the 2013 youth media awards are announced. This includes the Newbery and Caldecott Awards and Honor books, which will be quite celebratory this year, as the Caldecott Award is celebrating its 75th Anniversary. For librarians, this is a very exciting time to learn what books and media are announced to the world. These announcements are often referred to as the "Academy Awards for Librarians", and I attest, that that is very true!
You can watch the awards LIVE by following this link (and scrolling down to the video) on Monday, January 28th at 8:00 a.m. (The award announcements usually run 40-50 minutes.)
