Librarians of colour - you must apply! We need more people from diverse backgrounds judging all prizes and awards!

100%. The Carnegie awards are some of the most prestigious book awards in the UK and it’s important that there are judges from all kinds of backgrounds - librarians of colour as well as those from other marginalised groups - to broaden the discussion around books.

Absolutely agree, and for all prizes, awards and panels.

How wonderful, congratulations
