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.

Hi Everyone!

I am looking to see what some of you all do in regards to YA labels at the Middle and High School levels.  Our district is currently deliberating using these to demonstrate that there is possible content included in the book that is at a Young Adult level due to recent inquiries of some community members.  
Does anyone use YA labels, and if so, do you feel they benefit the collection and your patrons?

I appreciate your time with this!
