OAS Book Club attend awards ceremony at the Cambridge Theatre.
The YOTO Carnegies is the UK’s longest-running and best-loved book awards for children and young people. The OAS Book Club has been exploring the pages of the 8 shortlisted YOTO Carnegies’ Medal for Writing over the last two months.
Last Thursday, we had the amazing opportunity to be part of an audience of 600 young people at the live-streamed Awards ceremony at the Cambridge Theatre, home of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s award-winning Matilda the Musical.
“Our students were brilliantly engaged in reviewing the shortlisted books and excited to see the authors live on stage. We even managed to speak to some authors in person and have photos and autographs!” enthused our Librarian. “It was a truly fabulous day.”
The OAS Book Club didn’t choose the same winner as the judges. This didn’t put a dampener on the day though, as we did get a photo and chat with our chosen winner, Sophie Cameron – author of Away with Words.
