Newbery Award: Nontraditional Winners and Predictions
Update: 2021-12-29
Description
Stacy: Hello, and welcome to Clermont County Public Library’s Booklovers Podcast. I’m your host today, Stacy, and I am joined by two youth services librarians, Cara and Kristine.
Stacy: During this episode, we’re going to talk about nontraditional winners of past Newbery awards, some predictions of possible nontraditional winners for the 2022 Newbery awards and exactly what we mean by nontraditional.
And that’s probably the best place to start. Remember that show notes with links to all of the titles we talk about is available at clermontlibrary.org. Cara is going to get us started today.
Cara: Yeah. Thanks so much for having us, Stacy.
