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).
