Blackwell Library displays award-winning "green" children's books during the month of April.

Each year, during the Annual Children's Literature Festival, SU announces the winners of the local Green Earth Book Award (GEBA) designed to promote books that inspire a child to grow a deeper appreciation, respect and responsibility for his/her natural environment. The Award is the result of a partnership formed between the Newton Marasco Foundation and the SU Education Department.

The Foundation generously donates copies of the winning/honor books to be added to the Blackwell Library Juvenile Collection. For a complete list of all GEBA titles, visit the Foundation web site at www.newtonmarascofoundation.org or search the library's online catalog with the phrase "green earth book award".
