Raiders of the ARCs at the Carmel Clay Public Library is one of only 20 book groups nationwide that nominates titles for the Teens' Top Ten book list sponsored by YALSA, a division of the American Library Association. Publishers are sending the library Advanced Reader Copies (ARCs) of books to be considered for possible Teens' Top Ten nominations. Be a reader of influence! Read a book with a 2021 or 2022 publication date, write an honest review, and submit the review to YALSA between August 1 and December 30, 2021. YALSA will share the review that you write with the publishers and the library.
