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

[Valerie DiLorenzo]

Hi Jackie,

I'm at a K-9 library. We use YA labels (bottom of spine) on books that are
geared (from review) to grades 9 and up. I do like Annie's idea of emailing
a letter home to give grownups of younger grade students (6th, 7th) the
ability to say yay or nay on YA.
