It's award season here in Los Angeles and LAPL's very own, Susan Patron (35 year Children's Librarian/author) has won the 2007 John Newberry Medal for most distinguished children's literature of 2006, as chosen by the American Library Association (ALA). The book is entitled, The Higher Power of Lucky. Congrats Susan. Ironically, we do not have a copy of the book at our branch. I won't get into the reason why...
So who decides what books get onto the shelves anyway... ;) More on this later.
LAist has full story.
