Hi Lisa,
We label books with a YA sticker from Demco. For us, YA means 5th grade and
up (or parent permission), but there are a few titles I won't readily check
out to fifth or sixth graders. While I limit checkouts, I tell kids they
can look at any book they want while in the library.
We feature new YA books in a separate area, but they are otherwise shelved
together.

Hi Lisa,
We put a strip of red tape above the call number and students know the red
tape books are for 7th & 8th graders or parent permission is needed.
Hope this helps.

Hello, I have a question for K-8 librarians in regards to their YA
collection. I'm thinking of including a label for YA 8+, meaning for 8th
graders only. Does anyone have this? I find some wonderful books that I
would like the 8th graders to read are just not appropriate for the 6th
graders as of yet and I'm trying to build our YA collection as I have such
avid readers and want to keep them going. How do people handle this.
Thanks.
