The Pattis Family Foundation Chicago Book Award at the Newberry Library is presented annually to a book that transforms public understanding of Chicago, its history, or its people. The prize, established in 2021 by The Pattis Family Foundation in partnership with the Newberry Library, brings attention to publications that advance greater insight into the city among a general readership while resonating with the Newberry’s collections related to the history and people of Chicago. The award-winning author(s) will receive a prize of $25,000.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Pattis Family Foundation Chicago Book Award |url=https://www.newberry.org/calendar/the-pattis-family-foundation-chicago-book-award |access-date=2024-04-26 |website=Newberry Library |language=en-US}}</ref>
