  • John Newbery Award Committee Manual
    JOHN NEWBERY AWARD COMMITTEE MANUAL October 2009 John Newbery Award Committee Manual – Formatted August 2015 1 FOREWORD John Newbery The Newbery Medal is named for John Newbery (1713-1767), known as the first publisher of books for children. The son of a farmer, he married a widow who owned a printing business in Reading, England. They moved to London and, in 1743, Newbery published “A Little Pretty Pocket-Book, intended for the Instruction and Amusement of Little Master Tommy and Pretty Miss Polly, with an agreeable Letter to read from Jack the Giant-Killer, as also a Ball and a Pincushion, the use of which will infallibly make Tommy a good Boy and Polly a good Girl.” Although this was not the first book published for children (A Play-Book for Children was published by “J.G.” as early as 1694), Newbery was the first person to take children’s book publishing seriously, and many of his methods were copied by other authors and publishers. Newbery was an admirer of John Locke, who advocated teaching children through “some easy pleasant book, suited to his capacity.” Newbery’s books invariably had their didactic side, but he tempered instruction with a sense of humor. Works like Goody Two-Shoes, in which a poor but virtuous young woman is rewarded with riches, satisfied the moralists while providing a story with all the ups and downs of a modern soap opera. Other books on Newbery’s list included Aesop’s Fables, books of history and science, miscellanies, and even a children’s magazine, The Lilliputian Magazine, which contained stories, riddles, and songs.

  • Award Honorary Doctorate Degrees Funding
    10 Board Meeting January 31, 2019 AWARD HONORARY DEGREES, URBANA Action: Award Honorary Doctorate Degrees Funding: No New Funding Required The Senate of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has recommended that honorary degrees be conferred on the following people at Commencement Exercises on May 11, 2019: Michael T. Aiken, former Chancellor of the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign -- the honorary degree of Doctor of Science and Letters Chancellor Aiken was the sixth chancellor of the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign, leading the campus from 1993 until his retirement in 2001. Only one chancellor has served longer. Dr. Aiken was devoted to the excellence of the Urbana campus and undertook many initiatives with a lasting impact still felt today. During Campaign Illinois, he worked to establish more than 100 new endowed faculty positions. He enhanced the undergraduate experience by increasing opportunities for students to study abroad, expanding the number of living/learning communities in the various student residence halls, developed discovery classes for first-year students, and instituted New Student Convocation. Chancellor Aiken worked toward the creation of Research Park on the south campus to provide a vibrant environment for the campus efforts in economic development and innovation. Dr. Aiken was key to establishing the Campustown 2000 Task Force to improve both the physical appearance of Campustown and its safety and livability. Dr. Aiken made a priority of building strong relationships between the university and the greater Champaign-Urbana community. During his tenure, and through his leadership, gateways were built at the boundaries of the campus to serve as doors and windows between the campus and the community.

  • History of Urban Main Library Service
    History of Urban Main Library Service JACOB S. EPSTEIN THEMOST IMPORTANT early date for urban public libraries would certainly be 1854, the year the Boston Public Library opened its doors. But as Jesse Shera has noted: “The opening, on March 20,1854, of the reading room of the Boston Public Library. ..was not a signal that a new agency had suddenly been born into American urban life. Behind the act were more than two centuries of experimentation, uncertainty, and change.”l Before the advent of public libraries there were numerous social li- braries, mercantile libraries and other efforts to have a community store of books which could be borrowed or consulted. A common prin- ciple evident in each of them was the belief that the printed word was important and should be made available to the ordinary citizen who could not own all the literature which was of value. Although it was a subscription library, rather than a public library as we think of it today, Benjamin Franklin’s Library Company of Phila- delphia, organized in 1731, was the first library in America to circulate books and the first to pay a librarian for his services. In his Autobiogra- phy, Franklin declared, “These libraries have improved the general conversation of the Americans, made the common tradesmen and farm- ers as intelligent as most gentlemen from other countries, and perhaps have contributed in some degree to the stand so generally made throughout the colonies in defense of their privileges.”2 Here is that recurrent theme of self-improvement that runs throughout the Ameri- can public library movement.
