What makes a truly great children's book?

There are many prize winners but which are the classics that have and will stand the test of time?

The Central Library is joining the celebrations for the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP) Carnegie Greenaway Medal anniversary with an exhibition of past winners.

Vote for your favourite from the top ten at the Central Library or on the Carnegie Greenaway Anniversary website.

The Carnegie Medal and the Kate Greenaway Medal are awarded each year for outstanding writing and illustration, respectively, in books for children and young people.

Young people's reading groups in Plymouth are shadowing this year's prize. Read their reviews on the Shadowing the Carnegie and Greenaway Medal website.
