Outstanding Books for the College Bound & Lifelong Learner (2019)
The books on this list offer opportunities to discover new ideas, and provide an introduction to the fascinating variety of subjects within an academic discipline. Readers will gain an understanding of our diverse world and build a foundation to deepen their response to that world. This list is developed every five years, most recently in 2019, and organized into five different academic disciplines. Previous 5-year lists are linked here.
A YALSA (Young Adult Library Serivces Association) committee of public, secondary school, and academic librarians selects the list.
