Junior Library Guild Premier Selections

As has been true since our inception in 1929, Junior Library Guild offers selections of unsurpassed quality.

Nearly 100% of our titles regularly receive favorable reviews from the publications you trust most: Booklist, Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, The Horn Book, The Horn Book Guide, Kirkus Reviews, KLIATT, School Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, VOYA, and the H.W. Wilson Catalogs.

Many of our books also receive distinguished awards. Among our recent selections are the winners of the Newbery Medal, the National Book Award, the Coretta Scott King Award, the Charlotte Zolotow Award, the Whitbread Children’s Book Award, the Carnegie Medal, the Ezra Jack Keats New Author and Illustrator Awards, the Jefferson Cup Award, the Américas Award, and the Christopher Medal.

Our titles have also been named as honor books by the Michael L. Printz, Robert F. Sibert, Jane Addams, and Boston Globe-Horn Book awards.

JLG books are the highest-quality editions available—each has a full-color dust jacket and a handsome, sturdy binding. Except for some graphic novels, all have a hard cover. Many titles have the jacket art exactly reproduced on the cover. We guarantee your satisfaction with every book.
