Minnesota Library Conference Session 4


What's New in Young Adult Literature with Donna Nix

This workshop was the most disappointing because it was advertised as an overview of this years must read young adult books. Attendees were hoping to actually see and hear about the titles but were informed by the speaker that was not what her session would be. Some people did get up and leave disappointed.

She did a great job of telling the audience about the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA). As I already use their lists to buy young adult books I also gleaned information on several new programs that could be beneficial for us in the future.
