About

The OPLbery Club is an annual mock Newbery club at the Ossining Public Library that began in 2010. The club members read and evaluate newly published books written by authors living in the United States. The club meets monthly through January, when they award the OPLbery Medal to the year’s most distinguished book. The club is open to children in the Ossining School District between the ages of 9 and 13 only.

The winner of the first OPLbery Medal was The Candymakers by Wendy Mass.

OPLbery Honors were awarded to Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper and Touch Blue by Cynthia Lord.
