THIS YEAR’S “LIBRARIAN-LOVED” BOOKS FOR CHILDREN & YOUNG PEOPLEThe prestige of the awards is rooted in the unique judging process which pools the professional expertise of children’s librarians from across the UK, who nominate books for the two Medals.
Twelve librarians from CILIP’s Youth Libraries Group then meet to discuss the long lists and agree on outstanding titles for each shortlist. Members of the panel combine an in-depth knowledge of children’s books with daily experience of working and reading with young people.
