Caldecott Medal
The Caldecott Medal was named in honor of nineteenth-century English illustrator Randolph Caldecott. The Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association, awards it annually to the artist of the most distinguished American picture book for children.
The following list includes the award winners, and their respective call numbers in the Millar Library. The Children's Literature Award Winners are all shelved together at the beginning of the PZ call number range in the southeast corner of the 5th floor. Titles without call numbers are not currently owned by the Millar Library. Ask for help at the reference desk on the 2nd floor if you need assistance with obtaining a copy from another library.
The list of award winners and their locations in the Millar Library can be retrieved by entering Caldecott Award as a keyword search in the Vikat online catalog.
