How the Newbery Medal Came to Be
On June 21, 1921, Frederic G. Melcher proposed
the award to the American Library Association
meeting of the Children's Librarians' Section.
He suggested that it be named for the
eighteenth-century English bookseller John
Newbery. His proposal was approved by the ALA
Executive Board in 1922.

Newbery books are judged on these points
