LibraryAware 2018 Year in Review

Year in Review: 2018
Making it through another year is cause for both celebration and reflection -- check out our Book Squad snapshot of the past year in YA reading.

Besties 2018 Are Here!

Click to print flyer of Best Fiction of 2018 for Tweens

Our year-end Best Books lists (aka "Besties") are lovingly hand-picked by NoveList librarians, and we're thrilled that the 2018 lists are ready for you to share in your libraries.

To boost circulation and kick-start discussions, print and display these flyers of some of our Besties picks. LibraryAware users can find more Besties printables by searching the "Flyer-Books" section for "best of 2018".

You can find the full "Best of 2018" lists for each age group in the Recommended Reads panel on the NoveList home page; or you can search for "best of 2018 teen" or "best of 2018 tween" and select the Lists & Articles tab. And if you're using NoveList Plus, remember to look for nonfiction Besties lists as well, using the same searches.

#Ownvoices comes to NoveList

We think it's the perfect announcement to make at the end of the year as we celebrate what we've done and look forward to what is to come: Own voices is now a searchable appeal term in the NoveList database.

Read this blogpost to learn about this project and how to make use of the results when looking for your next favorite book.
