[CASL-L] YA Labels on Books at the Middle and High School Levels

[Melissa Thom]

Hello:)

I use a YA sticker at the top of the spine on books that are recommended
for 8th grade and up according to the SLJ review. (I am in a middle school
library.) It could be a slippery slope if they are asking you to put the
label on anything that has been challenged.

Keep us posted on what happens!!
