[LM_NET] Fw: Best Books for Young Adults award being eliminated?

[Bernie Tomasso <btomasso@TWCNY.RR.COM>]

I know that IBBY has the same concern with the number of books that are 
received. As a retired LMS who is still interested in being involved, 
perhaps YALSA could consider using retiree expertise on the committee rather 
than ending an outstanding resource.
When I was in a library, I made it a goal to read at least 25 books from the 
collection each year so that I could better provide reading guidance to 
students and staff. To go the way of Amazon and the NYT is not only a shame 
but somehow seems to shirk our professional responsibility and one of the 
enjoyable aspects of the profession.
