Join us for this popular event as we unveil the year’s best in fiction, nonfiction, poetry, audiobook narration, and reference materials, featuring the Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence in Fiction and Nonfiction. This highly anticipated event is sponsored by NoveList, Booklist and RUSA. Winners are hand-picked by our expert selection committees that work closely with adult readers. Their tireless efforts narrow down hundreds of finalists to curate the highly regarded “Best of” lists used by librarians, publishers and booksellers nationwide. All Midwinter attendees are invited to this free event.
We would love to see you at the RUSA Book & Media Awards Ceremony and Reception on Sunday, January 26 – 5:00pm to 7:00pm, Philadelphia Marriott, Grand C-D & E.
