Summary
In recent years, as young adult publishing has come of age, library collections aimed at the YA audience have greatly diversified. Librarians evaluate their collections based on usage and popularity, but must also consider suitability and curriculum-inspired needs. Pattee discusses authoring a collection development policy and conducting a needs assessment for your library's young adult service population.
