Briarcliff School Librarian Named To National Award Committee

BRIARCLIFF MANOR, NY — Teka McCabe, Briarcliff Manor's Library Media Specialist in the Middle and High Schools was chosen by the American Library Association Young Adult Services Association to be a member of the 2019 Printz Award Committee which grants the Michael Printz Award each year.

The Printz Award is the nation’s most prestigious award for young adult literature, equivalent to the Newbery Medal for children’s literature and the Caldecott Medal for illustrated children’s books. Past Printz winners include Walter Dean Myers' Monster, John Green's Looking for Alaska and Libba Bray's Going Bovine.
McCabe, one of a nine-member committee chosen from librarians across the country, will represent Briarcliff Manor at various conferences and committee events through June 2019.

Said McCabe, "I feel very lucky and honored to have been chosen to be part of such an important committee in literature for young adults."
