The USC Upstate Display Committee is excited to announce our latest display “Award Winning Children’s Books.” With the Spring semester starting on campus, our committee wanted to highlight our impressive and bountiful juvenile collection of children’s books that have received various awards. Awards such as the Newbery Medal, Robert F. Sibert Medal, The Caldecott Award, The Pura Belpre Award, and the Corretta Scott King Award. The Newbery Medal is an award for the most distinguished American children’s book published the previous year. The Robert F. Sibert Medal is an award for the author, illustrator, or co-authors of the most distinguished informational book for children published the United States in English. The Caldecott Award is an award for the illustrator of the winning children’s book. The Pura Belpre Award is an award for a Latino or Latina writer and illustrator for work in children’s literature that celebrates the Latino or Latinx cultural experience. The Coretta Scott King Award is an award for outstanding African American authors and illustrators of children’s and young adult books that demonstrate an appreciation of African American culture and universal human values. The committee has done a fantastic job to make sure that all these different honors and recognition from our library collection are represented on this display. Each book on this display is available for checkout. We hope that our students and patrons will be intrigued by these books and check them out. This display will be here throughout January and February. In February we will shift this display into more material that focuses on the Corretta Scott King Award in honor of Black History Month.
