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".
