The
first Primary Award was given in 1976. Primary
books were not included in the voting in 1977,
1979 and 1981. Beginning in 1987, the illustrator
of the winning book was given full recognition
along with the author.
Intermediate
books were not included in the 1976, 1978, or
1980 voting. After the 1977 voting, it was decided
the intermediate category was too broad and a
Middle School/Junior High School category was
added.
The
Middle School/Junior High School Award began in
1980; it was not included in the voting in 1981.
The
Young Adult Award began in 1977. Young Adult books
were not included in the voting in 1978, 1980,
