The Carnegie Medal is awarded annually to the writer of an outstanding book for children.
It was established by The Library Association in 1936, in memory of the great Scottish-born philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919).
Carnegie set up more than 2800 libraries across the English speaking world and, by the time of his death, over half the library authorities in Great Britain had Carnegie libraries.
The winner receives a golden medal and £500 worth of books to donate to a library of their choice.
