The 2003 YALSA/BBYA Committee is off and reading. As of March 1, 2002, thirty-one books have been nominated for Best Books for Young Adults. We plan to post the new nominations on the first of each month throughout the year. A complete list of nominations will be available on the YALSA website: http://www.ala.org/yalsa/booklists/bbya/. Nominations from the field are encouraged. Please visit the YALSA Best Books website for details, including the policies and procedures. Books must be published between Sept. 1, 2001 and Dec. 31, 2002 to be eligible. If you or your teens would like to comment about any of the nominated titles, please send your comments to one of us and they will be shared with the committee. Thanks!
