This program (Books, Books, Books) is an excellent opportunity for me to learn about recent young adult literature from knowledgeable librarians… some of the titles presented I had already had on a list of possible purchases for the fall, and Frances helped me to reinforce my choices."
Sharon Wagner, K-12 Librarian, Long Lake, NY
