A question for librarians & booksellers:

Who reads YA?

In the community I serve, the majority of patrons who use the YA section are most certainly YAs.  There are adults who regularly check out books from that section (for themselves), but they're in the minority -- I've found that most of my adult patrons, when confronted with that 'Y' sticker, will automatically give the book a pass.

But the community is heavily skewed towards the older set, as there are a lot of retirees.  So there is that.

You?
