• Who are Young Adults? Young Adult Reading Preferences Based On Interviews

After reading our text, Young Adult Literature in Action: A Librarian's Guide I learned that young adults are defined by YALSA and ALA as youth aged 12 through 18.

I surveyed five young adults, 3 boys and 2 girls between the ages of 12 and 18. I found out that boys and girls have very different preferences. I found that the girls prefer novels where as the boys prefer informational books. I have concluded that not always but overall girls read more for pleasure and boys read more for information.
