Laura Ingles Wilder award is no more.

At its meeting on Saturday, June 23, 2018, the Association for Library Service to Children Board voted to change the name of the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award to the Children's Literature Legacy Award.

This decision was made in consideration of the fact that Wilder’s legacy, as represented by her body of work, includes expressions of stereotypical attitudes inconsistent with ALSC’s core values of inclusiveness, integrity and respect, and responsiveness. Please read the background document that informs this decision (PDF). Additional background information is found in the 2018 Midwinter Board Action Request form (PDF).

Please read the ALA/ALSC statement regarding the Wilder Medal Name Change.

In the weeks following the ALA Annual Conference, these award webpages will be revised to reflect the new award name.

The Children's Literature Legacy Award honors an author or illustrator whose books, published in the United States, have made, over a period of years, a significant and lasting contribution to children's literature through books that demonstrate integrity and respect for all children's lives and experiences.

Oh, boy. Let us get rid of everything from the past that is not politically correct..... Will leave a pretty large empty space....
Some people will always be offended by something. Get over it.

Good fricking grief. She was a person of her time. I'm so SICK of the judgment of people of the past by today's standards.

I'm afraid that there is a agenda behind all this, it's sad when you see people on t.v. asked why we are celebrating the 4th majority of them don't know why. If we don't know our history we are doomed to repeat it. A lot of young people here who are socialist don't even really know what it is. One of the first things they do is change history.

  Now they are removing  historical  figures such as Laura  Ingalls  Wilder and others  because  they are "offensive ".

History, good or bad, is important. We are supposed to learn from it, not erase it.

In so many ways, we are really headed down a dangerous path in this country that I'm glad I won't be around to witness in a couple of decades.

 They want to erase it or rewrite it.
