ALA Award Winners

I think we will have an Award Amaryllis
I'm not an "every library must have every award" kind of person. I just think it's fun to look at them and see which might good for your community. Note that I skip most of the young adult stuff and if it won multiple things I only listed it the first time it came up on my list.
