As shared by the American Library Association: “Audiobooks constitute a fast-growing area of usage in libraries. The award is named after the epic poem titled, ‘The Odyssey,’ which was told and retold in the oral tradition and eventually ascribed by the poet Homer, on the tales of Odysseus as he returns to his kingdom after the Trojan War. The Odyssey Award allows us to return to the ancient roots of storytelling, while living in our modern world.”
