Newbery Medal
The Newbery Medal was named for eighteenth-century British bookseller John Newbery. It is awarded annually by the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association, to the author of the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children.
The following list includes the award winners, and their respective call numbers in the Millar Library. The Childrens Literature Award Winners are all shelved together at the beginning of the PZ call number range in the southeast corner of the 5th floor.
