I couldn't agree louder!! Middle schoolers want age appropriate romance, SEL and other books. Many middle grade are too "baby" and YA are "too much"
I am a VERY frustrated middle school library book purchaser!

Slowly creeping in…I don’t post a lot, but enjoy civil conversations. I also like keeping up on all my favorite authors, fellow librarians, and baseball news (probably in that order!)
