As I am subscribed to the newsletter of the The Well-Read Librarian, I get information on new books and readers services for Children and Young Adults. This week, I got a list of recommended books that won awards by readers and literacy groups. This is a good source for collection development geared towards the reading habits and readership of young people and those who take care and mentor them. It's amazing how reading groups continue to support the book industry. Such initiatives firm up and keep the robustness of the book industry.
