Snapshot: One Day in the Life of the Vernon Area Public Library District

On Wednesday, February 10, 2010, we will be capturing One Day in the Life of the Vernon Area Public Library District through photos and patron comments. During the day, staff members will be taking pictures throughout the library building that will be used for promotional/informational purposes. These photos may or may not appear in print materials, on Facebook and/or Flickr. Library patrons and program attendees consent to having their photograph used for these purposes. If you do not wish for you or your child to be photographed, please notify staff and obtain a No Photography Please sticker. Thank you.

Every January at the American Library Association Midwinter Meeting, the top books, audiobooks and videos for children and young adults are chosen.  The two awards that you may be familiar with are the John Newbery Medal for the most outstanding contribution to children's literature, and the Randolph Caldecott Medal, for the most distinguished picture book for children. 

Here are the recently announced winners:

 John Newbery Medal  

"When You Reach Me" by Rebecca Stead

Randolph Caldecott Medal

"The Lion and the Mouse" by Jerry Pinkney

 
For the Coretta Scott King Award winner and the other prize winners, please visit the American Library Association website.
Congratulations to all the winners!
