[CASL-L] YA Books/Publishing

[Musket, Kimberly]

Good morning,
I have two questions today.

1.  Our middle school libraries have been talking about YA books. There are
many books in our libraries that are considered YA and are recommended for
8th grade and up. Our schools have grades 6-8. I know this topic was
brought up already here but I can't remember what was said. I'm ordering YA
labels for these books. For those of you who have these books labeled, what
did you do with them as far as notifying students and parents about them?
Did students in grades 6 and 7 need special permission to borrow them? Did
8th graders?


2.  I have a teacher who has written a book and really wants to get it
published (for free). Does anyone know of a way for an educator to get a
book published?

Thank you!
Kim
