The Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) which is part of The American Library Association has created all kinds of "best of" and "top ten" type lists.  Some of these are created by librarians, and some by readers' votes.  Some are lists of critically acclaimed award winning books and some are lists of popular or interesting books that haven't won any awards.  Check them all out on the YALSA book awards page.

For the past seven years students at Barrie North have been running an excellent one day writers' conference.  This year's date is Thursday, May 1st.  Ask your English teacher about arranging a field trip during the school day!  If that doesn't work out, anyone can attend the evening presentations.  Check out the poster below and the conference website for more details (note that the poster may not be viewable on your phone).
