The Pura Belpre Award was established to honor Latino writers and illustrators
whose work best embodies the Latino cultural experience in a work of children's
literature. The award is named after Pura Belpre, the first Latina librarian
at the New York Public Library. Belpre is known for her work in preserving
and disseminating Puerto Rican Folklore. The Pura Belpre Award was first
presented in 1996 and is presented biennially by the Association for Library
Services to Children (ALSC) and the National Association to Promote Library
Services to the Spanish Speaking (REFORMA).
