On Display: And the (Book) Award Goes To

Currently on display in the library lobby is a twenty year retrospective look at the award winning books in both fiction and non-fiction. While there are many prestigious prizes awarded to books each year, the titles in this collection represent the winners of the Man Booker Prize, National Book Award, PEN/Faulkner Award and the Pulitzer Prize, and include some titles that have since been made into films. You can see which award (or in some instances, awards as in the case of The Haunted Land, Embracing Defeat, The Hours, Independence Day, and Shipping News) was given to each title here on our Pinterest board or by visiting our display (just check out the bookmark placed inside the book).
