Adolfo Gomez-Delgado, 2021 Showcase
skull_face’s mini YA library: This blog was created for INFO265 with the intent of sharing it with young people utilizing our branch library. It highlights a small collection of contemporary Young Adult materials including print (books) and non-print items (audiobooks, podcasts, music, video games, and TV/film). Each post includes a summary of the title being reviewed, bibliographic info, and a short analysis that contextualizes the title’s inclusion in the collection. This short collection emphasizes recent releases and trends in today’s youth media.
