The Mark Twain Awards

In 1971 the Mark Twain Award program was initiated by Marnie Neal, a librarian from Kansas City, and co-sponsored by the Missouri Association of School Librarians and the Missouri Library Association. The award is chosen by the children of Missouri and named for Missouri's best known writer, Mark Twain. That's where you come in. The purpose of the program is to provide children of Missouri with their very own source of books to enrich their lives through reading and to find the joys that lie in being able to read.
