In addition to awards, a number of organizations and associations develop lists of outstanding books for young adults. While the New York Public Library issues an annual Books for the Teen Age, the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), a division of ALA) produces a number of these lists including: Best Books for Young Adults, Top 10 Best Books for Young Adults, Outstanding Books for the College Bound, Popular Paperbacks for Young Adults, Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers, Selected Audiobooks for Young Adults, and Selected DVDs & Videos for Young Adults. Some of the lists are general in nature, while others are more specific. For example, each year the YALSA popular paperbacks committee identifies several themes (not necessarily in specific genres) and selects materials related to those themes. The 2004 themes were heroes, music and musicians, mystery and suspense, and science fiction.
