The best selection of new-release children’s and young adult booksThe JLG editorial team reviews more than 3,000 new titles each year, in manuscript or prepublication stages, submitted to us by the publishers. We choose only the best of the best. In fact, more than 95 percent of JLG selections go on to receive additional awards or starred or favorable reviews. | ||
Great books all year longFor each level you order, you’ll receive one new-release hardcover book every month for one year, hot off the presses. You’ll have new materials every single month, all year long. Even at the end of the year when your budget money is spent, you’ll still have the best new books coming to your library.
