“I believe that young adult literature saves lives, and I am living proof of that.”
— Dr. Joan Kaywell, Professor of English Education (retired), University of South Florida
Dr. Kaywell established the Hipple Collection of Young Adult Literature in Special Collections, and each year bestows the Books Save Lives award to an up-and-coming author whose work inspires young readers to overcome hardship.
