Looking forward to The Alex Awards

January 22, 2012 by

I am very excited to remind you that the winners of the 2012 Alex Awards kicks off the ALA Media Awards tomorrow morning, Monday January 23rd, at 7:45am in Dallas, TX (so that’s 7:45am CT).

Just a reminder: YALSA’s Alex Awards “are given to ten books written for adults that have special appeal to young adults, ages 12 through 18.”
