For more than eight decades, librarians from the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) have intensely scrutinised the children's books published each year, selecting the winning and honour books for the Newbery and Caldecott Awards. In addition, the ALSC division of the ALA is committed to creating a nation of readers, starting with the youngest. ALSC supports all those providing library services to children, including youth librarians, teachers, families, literature experts, publishers, and child advocates.
