Kansas Notable Book Awards

The award, originally established in 2006, is organized by the Kansas Center for the Book (KCFB).

[1][2] Winning authors include Clare Vanderpool, Rolf Potts, Ben Lerner, Candice Millard, and Gordon Parks.

[1] A committee of KCFB affiliates and fellows, together with authors of previous Notable Books, identifies notable titles from among those published the previous year, and the State Librarian makes the selection for the final list of fifteen.

A reception and medal awards ceremony are held to honor the books and their authors and illustrators.
