Youth Media Awards are January 27!

It's that time of year again! The 2014 Youth Media Awards will be announced January 27 in Philadelphia, but you can watch it all here on a live webcast beginning at 8a.m. E.T.

What are the Youth Media Awards?

According to the ALA "Each year the American Library Association honors books, videos, and other outstanding materials for children and teens. Recognized worldwide for the high quality they represent, the ALA Youth Media Awards, including the prestigious Newbery, Caldecott, Printz, and Coretta Scott King Book Awards, guide parents, educators, librarians, and others in selecting the best materials for youth. Selected by committees composed of librarians and other literature and media experts, the awards encourage original and creative work in the field of children’s and young adult literature and media."
