The Young Adults’ Choices project began in 1986, funded by a special grant given to what was then the International Reading Association (now the International Literacy Association), and was supervised by the Literature for Young Adults Committee. The goals of the project are to encourage young people to read; to make teens, teachers, librarians, and parents aware of new literature for young adults; and to provide middle and secondary school students with an opportunity to voice their opinions about books being written for them.
