Teen Book Awards

Last week at the American Library Associations mid winter conference, the winners of the main book awards were announced. The teen book winners were:

Copper Sun by Sharon Draper (Coretta Scott King Award)
American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang (Printz Award)

Ten books were named for the Alex Award, which are adult books that will appeal to teens.
Many other books were honorable mentions. Please check the ALA/YALSA website at www.ala.org/yalsa .
There you will find all the nominees and winners.
We have or will have very soon all of these books at the library. Come and check out the award winners.
