The Massachusetts Book Award
is an annual program of the Massachusetts Center for the Book (MCB), an
affiliate of the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. MCB
emerges from a partnership among six cultural organizations: American
Antiquarian Society, Boston Public Library, Five Colleges, Inc., Massachusetts
Board of Library Commissioners, Massachusetts Foundation for the Humanities, and
University of Massachusetts Amherst. MCB
programs promote the importance of reading and literacy, emphasize the central
role of libraries in a civic society, and encourage a deeper appreciation for
the book and for the book arts in Massachusetts.
