Barbara Hoffert, @barbarahoffert
You may already know the biggest titles for coming months, the books that are best sellers before their official publication date. But what about sleeper hits, those great discoveries that librarians will want to have, though they might not know it yet?

| 2017 Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards
On March 23, the Cleveland Foundation announced the winners of the 82nd annual Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards, established in 1935 by Cleveland poet and philanthropist Edith Anisfield Wolf to honor literary works that confront racism and celebrate diversity. It’s heartbreaking to realize that the awards are still necessary but heartening to know that the foundation continues its mission, fielding the only juried prize of this type in the nation. |
