The Pura Belpré Award Celebración is the annual event held during the ALA Annual Conference to honor recipients of the Pura Belpré Award, a prestigious recognition for Latino/Latina authors and illustrators whose work best portrays, affirms, and celebrates the Latino cultural experience in outstanding children’s and young adult literature.
Named after Pura Belpré, the first Latina librarian at the New York Public Library, the award was established in 1996 (originally biennial until 2008) and is now given annually. It is co-sponsored by the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC), Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), and REFORMA. The Celebración serves as both a celebration of the award’s legacy and a platform for honoring the authors, illustrators, and communities whose stories are recognized.
