As of May 1, 2003, eighty-five books have been nominated for Best Books
for
Young Adults. Books will be discussed at the ALA Annual Meeting in
Toronto
this June. New nominations are posted on the first of each month
throughout
the year. 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, 2002 and Dec. 31, 2003 to be
