YALSA's 2003 Selected Videos & Audiobooks for young Adults

Staff -- School Library Journal, 4/1/2003

Comment
on this article

The Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) Selected DVD's and Videos for Young Adults and Selected Audiobooks for Young Adults Committees have chosen 10 videos and 29 audiobooks for 2003. The selection was made during the American Library Association (ALA) Midwinter Meeting in Philadelphia, PA. The annual DVD/ Video list recognizes productions for technical merit and content, and their interest to young adults aged 12 to 18. The items were selected, screened, and discussed by the Selected DVD's and Videos for Young Adults Committee with input from young adults around the country. The audiobooks have been selected from the past two years of spoken word releases. They have been chosen for their appeal to a teen audience, the quality of their recording, and because they enhance the audience's appreciation of any written work on which they may be based. While the list as a whole addresses the interests and needs of young adults ranging in age from 12 to 18, individual titles may appeal to parts of that range.
