Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction & Nonfiction
Charge
The Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence in Fiction and Nonfiction, first awarded in June 2012, are awarded to the author of the best book for adult readers in two categories-fiction and nonfiction. Two additional authors shortlisted in each of the categories will be named finalists. The winning authors and finalists will receive cash prizes ($5,000 and $1,500 each respectively). The award is co-sponsored by Reference and User Services Association (RUSA) and Booklist.

Express your interest in serving on this or other committees by filling out an application form. Appointments take place between Midwinter and Annual conferences. Committee service usually begins following Annual Conference, about July 1, with the exception of the award committees whose work takes place from February to January.
