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!!

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!
