Do you like young adult books? Do you like to talk? Want to talk about young adult books? Let’s do it!

The 2022 Mock Printz, hosted by the Oregon Young Adult Network, is free and open to teens and adults who work with teens.

1-5 p.m. Saturday, January 22 | On Zoom

What do we do? We find and read 8 outstanding books from 2021 and then spend an afternoon in an intensive discussion of those books. Then we vote which is most likely to be a contender for the 2022 Michael L. Printz Award for Excellence in Young Adult Literature<https://www.ala.org/yalsa/printz>.

It’s marvelous. If you like that kind of thing.
