Alex Awards

The Alex Awards are given to 10 books written for adults that have special appeal to young adults, ages 12 to 18. The winning titles are selected from the previous year’s publishing.

The award is sponsored by the Margaret Alexander Edwards Trust. Edwards was a young adult specialist for many years at the Enoch Pratt Library in Baltimore. Her work is described in her book "Fair Garden" and the "Swarm of Beasts", and over the years she has served as an inspiration to librarians who serve young adults. The Alex Awards are named after Edwards, who was called “Alex” by her friends.
