I have been posting reviews from Booklist all week so I thought, why not share one more thing trend the week. This time it is the ceremony from the 2026 Andrew Carnegie Medals Ceremony.
This year's ceremony was a little bittersweet as after 10 years, the Carnegie Foundation is no longer sponsoring the awards. Long time readers will remember that I had the opportunity to serve on this committee a few years ago, as a result this feels personal to me. It is also personal to Donna Seaman, and she talks about the legacy of the award in her keynote.
The Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence in Fiction and Nonfiction are celebrated every year at ALA's Annual Conference, this year held in Chicago. During this literary night on Saturday, June 27 at the American Writers Museum, we honored this year's winners: A Guardian and a Thief by Megha Majumdar and Things in Nature Merely Grow by Yiyun Li.
You can watch the entire ceremony to hear the moving speeches from this year's winners and a keynote address from Booklist's Editor in Chief and Adult Books editor Donna Seaman.
