The James Cook Book Award: Celebrating Diversity in Teen Literature was created in 2007 by the Ohio Library Council's Teen Services Division to honor the life of teen librarian James Cook. The award recognizes a book that promotes and celebrates cultural, ethnic, or social diversity. Nominations are now open for the 2017 award and will honor books published for teens in 2015 and 2016.
