Caldecott Award Books

The Caldecott Medal, named for nineteenth-century English illustrator Randolph Caldecott, was established in 1938 by the American Library Association (ALA). It is awarded annually to the illustrator of the most distinguished American picture book for children published in the preceding year. For additional information, see the ALA website.

A display copy of each Caldecott Award book is available in the Curriculum Materials Department of the Library. Additional copies are shelved in the juvenile collection. Call numbers are listed in bold to help locate copies that may be borrowed.
