Thanks to fellow taskforce member Amy for sending these photos from @yalsa's Symposium. It has been two weeks since the conference, & I am still thinking about all of the ideas and concepts I encountered in sessions and author panels. Still inspired....#yalsa22

Hey now--@yalsa just named The Darkness Outside Us audiobook to their 2022 Amazing Audiobooks for Young Adults list! I wish I could take credit. @JamesFouheyJr was a dream narrator and totally knocked it out of the park. @HarperAudio

I love librarians sooo much! Honored to see RUN make @yalsa’s Top Ten Great Graphic Novels for teens, making it the only graphic work to be on @yalsa’s top ten and @libcomix’s top ten list for adults. Wishing I could safely hug every librarian today. ala.org/news/press-releases/…

I'm actually really impressed with the way the virtual aspect of #Yalsa21 has been handled. I really appreciated the live Q&A options to help bring some more "real" conference vibes to virtual. This year's lineup is also just *chef's kiss* so kudos there too!
