Join librarians and Alex Awards committee members Joy Worland (Montpelier, Vt.) and Francisca Goldsmith (Portland, Maine), and YA author Aaron Starmer, for a panel discussion on reviewing books for the Alex Awards as well as a talk about writing for and expanding the world of literature for teens.
Sponsored by YALSA, the Alex Awards are given to ten books written for adults that have special appeal to young adults, ages 12 through 18. "Ready To Launch" is meant to convey the idea of teens launching into adult books--- which is really what the Alex Awards are all about.
This Bear Pond Books Educator Series event is free and open to the public. Register here: https://readytolaunch.eventbrite.com
