John Newbery Award Committee Manual
JOHN NEWBERY AWARD COMMITTEE MANUAL October 2009 John Newbery Award Committee Manual – Formatted August 2015 1 FOREWORD John Newbery The Newbery Medal is named for John Newbery (1713-1767), known as the first publisher of books for children. The son of a farmer, he married a widow who owned a printing business in Reading, England. They moved to London and, in 1743, Newbery published “A Little Pretty Pocket-Book, intended for the Instruction and Amusement of Little Master Tommy and Pretty Miss Polly, with an agreeable Letter to read from Jack the Giant-Killer, as also a Ball and a Pincushion, the use of which will infallibly make Tommy a good Boy and Polly a good Girl.” Although this was not the first book published for children (A Play-Book for Children was published by “J.G.” as early as 1694), Newbery was the first person to take children’s book publishing seriously, and many of his methods were copied by other authors and publishers. Newbery was an admirer of John Locke, who advocated teaching children through “some easy pleasant book, suited to his capacity.” Newbery’s books invariably had their didactic side, but he tempered instruction with a sense of humor. Works like Goody Two-Shoes, in which a poor but virtuous young woman is rewarded with riches, satisfied the moralists while providing a story with all the ups and downs of a modern soap opera. Other books on Newbery’s list included Aesop’s Fables, books of history and science, miscellanies, and even a children’s magazine, The Lilliputian Magazine, which contained stories, riddles, and songs. -
Of Nightingales, Newberies, Realism, and the Right Books, 1937-1945
Women of ALA Youth Services and Professional Jurisdiction: Of Nightingales, Newberies, Realism, and the Right Books, 1937-1945 CHRISTINEA. JENKINS ABSTRACT YOUTHSERVICES LIBRARIANSHIP-work with young people in school and pub- lic libraries-has always been a female-intensive specialization. The or- ganization of youth services librarians within the American Library Asso- ciation (ALA) has been a powerful professional force since the turn of the century, with the evaluation and promotion of “the right book for the right child holding a central position in their professional jurisdiction. However, during the late 1930s and early 1940s, this jurisdiction over the selection of the best books for young readers was strongly challenged on the basis of gender. An examination of these confrontations reveals con- sistent patterns in both the attacks and the defenses, as well as gender- based assumptions, that ALA youth services leaders confronted in their ultimately successful effort to defend their jurisdiction over the Newbery Medal (awarded yearly to “the most distinguished contribution to litera- ture for children”), while at the same time broadening the profession’s criteria for “the right book to include realistic fiction that dealt with contemporary social issues. INTRODUCTION Youth services librarianship, like teaching, social work, and public health nursing, was one of the child welfare professions that grew up in the United States during the Progressive Era. In the final decades of the nineteenth century, the rapid growth of industrialization and urbaniza- tion, the influx of enormous numbers of immigrants to the United States, and an economic depression stimulated a host of reform activities and Christine A.Jenkins, Graduate School of Library and Information Science, 501 E. -

Fall 2006 at VASSAR
FRIENDS OF THE FRANCES LEHMAN LOEB ART CENTER ART FALL 2006 AT VASSAR On May 8th, the College gathered for a very special event—the For Elizabeth dedication of a sculptural installation of twenty Laurentian green granite benches designed by internationally renowned artist Jenny Holzer. The work entitled For Elizabeth, commissioned by the Friends of the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center and given a helping hand by a national fundraising effort, was presented to retiring College President Frances Daly Fergusson in honor of her twenty years of service to Vassar. Each of the benches is incised with a quotation from the published and unpublished poetry of Elizabeth Bishop, Vassar class of 1934. The work is site-specific, the benches placed on alternating sides of the 775-foot landscaped path that runs from Students Building, the central dining facility designed by McKim, Mead, and White, to the north side of Main building, designed by James Renwick. The subjects of the verses draw on questions of love, time, nature, change, the seaside, war, and the occasional apocalyptic vision. It President Fergusson, becomes a 775-foot metaphor for the complexities of the journey Jenny Holzer and every undergraduate makes while inhabiting as well as enriching the Friends’ Chairman Vassar landscape. As one slowly absorbs Elizabeth Bishop’s verses Mark Lerner carved onto the twenty granite benches while traversing the path, one takes part in a concomitant physical, aesthetic, and intellec- tual journey. It is not meant to be a sequential experience—not a series of Stations of the Cross—but rather one to be grazed upon, Her installation won the prestigious Leone d’Oro award. -
