Honors and Awards for Marin Younker, Andy Musser, & Ben Clanton!

We are behind on our celebrating! We forgot to share a few member triumphs. Without further adieu, behold the awesomeness.




​Yay, Marin!


The Virginia Library Association awarded a 2017 Jefferson Cup honor to Bleed, Blister, Puke, and Purge: The Dirty Secrets Behind Early American Medicine by J. Marin Younker. The winners were Cat Winters' The Steep and Thorny Way (Young Adult Readers) and I Dissent: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Makes Her Mark by Debbie Levy (Young Readers). 

Since 1983, the award recognizes books for youth and teens in the areas of American biography, history, or historical fiction with the intent to promote America's past, as well as quality writing.

Way to go, Andy!
