Awards
Australia's Miles Franklin Award went to Extinctions by Josephine Wilson (UWA Publishing).
Initiatives
James Patterson distributed the $1.75 million he pledged to teachers for his third School Library Campaign with Scholastic Book Clubs. Donations of $500 each went to 3,500 teachers for classroom materials and were matched with "Bonus Points" from Scholastic to use towards more supplies. There were 82,622 applicants this year, as Patterson said: "We saw a huge increase in the number of applications to this year's campaign, and it was both humbling and concerning to see just how many teachers lacked basic materials – most notably, books – for their classrooms. The incredible response demonstrated just how resourceful teachers are, and how vital to they are to student development. I'm happy to be able to acknowledge their contributions in some way, and in doing so, hope to bring more awareness to the clear and immediate need for school funding."
