Thanks, Michael, for your informative message about the genesis of the Michael L. Printz award. It's very helpful for everyone to have the background on the award, and to see how carefully it was established.


I wonder if you have any specific comments about why the committee decided to make only those books published expressly for young adults eligible for the award. Since other YALSA committees consider adult books for teens, I'm sure there was a lot of discussion on this point.
