Even if you won’t be attending the Midwinter Meeting of the American Library Association (ALA) in Philadelphia next month, you can still take part in the 2014 Youth Media Award announcements. ALA will be offering a live webcast of the 2014 announcements at 8 a.m. EST, on January 27, from the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia.
The ALA Youth Media Awards honor children’s and young adult authors and illustrators, as well as producers of children’s audio and video materials. These include the Newbery, Caldecott, Batchelder, Belpre, Carnegie, Geisel, Odyssey, and Sibert awards.
