The New York Society Library’s New York City Book Awards, established in 1996, honor books of literary quality or historical importance that, in the opinion of the selection committee, evoke the spirit or enhance appreciation of New York City. It is not necessary that the city be the major subject of the book, but it must play an essential, invigorating role beyond that of the setting.
As part of the Book Awards, the Library also presents the Hornblower Award. Established in 2011, this award is given to an excellent New York City-related book by a first-time author.
The 2011 New York City Book Awards jury is chaired by Roger Pasquier. Its current members are Lucienne Bloch, Barbara Cohen, Jules Cohn, Andrew Dolkart, Joe Drape, Bobbie Leigh, Mark Magowan, Cynthia Saltzman and Meg Wolitzer.
