Carnegie Medal in Literature

The Carnegie Medal is a British literary award that annually recognises one outstanding new book for children or young adults. It is conferred upon the author by the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals. CILIP calls it "the UK's oldest and most prestigious book award for children's writing" and says that writers call it "the one they want to win". The Medal is named after the Scottish-born American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, who founded more than 2800 libraries in the English-speaking world, including at least one in more than half of British library authorities. It was established in 1935 by the British Library Association partly to celebrate the centennial of Carnegie's birth and inaugurated in 1937 by the award to Arthur Ransome for Pigeon Post and the identification of two Commended books. That first Medal was dated 1936; only since 2007 it is dated by its presentation, which is now one or two years after publication.
