Hello! Yesterday NPR released their list of 100 Best Young Adult Novels: <a href="http://www.npr.org/2012/08/07/157795366/your-favorites-100-best-ever-teen-novels." target="_blank">

<br>

<br>

How many of these titles does your library have? Hopefully you'll start getting even more patron requests for them in the upcoming week as the list spreads through social media!<br>

<br>

The list of the over 200 finalist titles is excellent too: <a href="http://www.npr.org/2012/07/24/157111862/young-adult-fiction-finalists" target="_blank">

<br>

Enjoy,<br>
