CSKBART 55th Anniversary

2024 marks the 55th Anniversary of the Coretta Scott King Book Awards Round Table.

2024 marks the 55th anniversary of the Coretta Scott King Book Awards Round Table. During the past 55 years, these awards celebrate the talent, creativity, and hard work of many authors and illustrators that showcase the black youth experience. Recently, we celebrated the 2024 CSKBART author and illustrator winners at the American Library Association Conference in San Diego, CA. For the full list of winners, please follow this link.

As we continue to celebrate these talented authors and illustrators, use the hashtag #CSKBART55 on social media, share your favorite moments from past Coretta Scott King Book Awards breakfasts, simply share a CSKBART title that you cherish. Let us know what this award means to you as a library worker, educator, reader, writer, or artist.
