Carnegie Medal

From AwardAnnals

The Carnegie Medal is awarded annually to the writer of an outstanding book for children and young people. The book must have received its first publication in the United Kingdom or have had co-publication elsewhere within a three month time lapse.

The Carnegie Medal was established by The Library Association in 1936, in memory of the great Scottish-born philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919). It is now awarded by CILIP: the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals, which is a new organisation formed on 1 April 2002 by the unification of the Institute of Information Scientists and The Library Association.

Notes

• Prior to 2007, the award is identified with the year of eligibility. Now the year of the award ceremony is used. Consequently, there is no award for 2006.
• No medal was awarded in 1943, 1945 and 1966 due to a lack of suitable nominees.
