British Carnegie Medal
The Carnegie Medal is a British literary award that annually recognises one outstanding new English-language book for children or young adults.
The Medal is named after the Scottish-born American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie (1835–1919), who founded more than 2,800 libraries in the English-speaking world, including at least one in more than half of British library authorities. The award was started in 1936 by the British Library Association, to celebrate the centenary of Carnegie's birth and the first award was in 1937 Arthur Ransome for Pigeon Post (1936).
