Nov 10, 2021 LSC is pleased to present our Spring/Summer 2022 Juvenile Notables catalogue. LSC extends our thanks to everyone who helped us put these catalogues together, from publishers to librarians to LSC staff. For this season we have again used the alternative digital format, originally part of our continued efforts to become more environmentally responsible and now part of our commitment to ensure the health and safety of our clients. Titles in these catalogues are compiled in cooperation with Canadian publishers and a committee of Canadian librarians. As always, we extend our appreciation to: Anthea Bailie (Markham Public Library), Darlene Pretty (Woodstock Public Library), Susan Hoffman (Newmarket Public Library), Jennifer Cyr (Region of Waterloo), Caroline Goulding (Dryden Public Library), Meagan Wilkinson (Orillia Public Library, Stefanie Waring (LSC Non-fiction Selection Specialist), Sara Pooley (Juvenile Product Manager Early Levels), Jamie Quinn (Manager of Customer and Selection Services) and Rachel Seigel (Fiction Product Manager Juvenile to Adult). The Juvenile Notables Catalogue is organized alphabetically by author and categorized by “Picture Books”, “Juvenile Fiction”, “Juvenile Non-Fiction”, “Young Adult Fiction”, “Young Adult Non- Fiction” and “Juvenile/YA Audio” and graphic novels. To ensure series completion, LSC includes the ISBN of the previous volume in a series. All picture book and fiction lists include a special quick picks section, as well as additional solid-selling notables. New this season are separate seasonal lists of all available board books and levelled readers for ease of ordering. Also included in the catalogues are a special section for “Committee Picks” which have been selected by our talented committee as their personal favourite “must reads” this season. Canadian authors, high demand authors, and important regional authors are all taken into consideration to meet notable status. Priority is also given to titles of topical interest, print runs, and promotional campaigns. As part of our policy of supporting the Canadian distribution industry, LSC sources ALL of these titles in Canada. The cost of this process is supported with advertising from a number of leading Canadian distributors. We are dedicated to providing our client libraries with the very best in Juvenile and Young Adult Selection tools, and welcome any feedback that would help us enhance these lists or overcome any of the unique challenges facing libraries in the ongoing pandemic. We hope you enjoy!
