The Internet and Kids

The Internet and the Web are a vast network of interconnected links. Following links can lead in unexpected directions. In accordance with the library's Internet Use Policy, it is the responsibility of each child's parent or legal guardian to monitor their Internet use.

More information is available at The Librarian's Guide to Cyberspace for Parents and Kids and SafeKids.Com's Kids' Rules for Online Safety and Online Safety Guidelines for Parents.

Newbery & Caldecott Books

The Newbery Medal is has been awarded annually by the American Library Association for the most distinguished American children's book published the previous year since 1922. The Newbery Medal was the first children's book award in the world and continues to be the best known children's book award in the U.S. In 1938 a second award was established, the Caldecott Medal, to recognize the artist of the most distinguished picture book of the previous year. Every year, one title is selected to receive each award and additional titles are recognized as "runners-up" or "honor books" in each category.

We have compiled a complete list of both Newbery Medal & Caldecott Medal winners and honor books, arranged chronologically by year, with links to the library catalog for easy searching and reserving.
