The Newbery Medal is awarded annually by the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association, to the author of the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children.

Mrs. Gebel was a member of the 2006 Newbery Committee. She formed a Newbery Book Club and over thirty children from our community evaluated new books and posted reviews on the Newbery Club website.

Club members meet in January to hold a Mock Newbery election to see if they can predict what book will win the real Newbery Medal.
