The Newbery medal was created in 1922 by the American Library Association.

The medal is awarded to the best story for children published the previous year.

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.
