As librarians return to walking the floors in search of good books at the Public Library Association convention this month, they’ll need some guidance. Here’s a list of select titles from key publishers attending the show, organized chronologically by booth number. Publishers are mixing up the approach, e.g., distributing galleys on a schedule or using order forms—so check these booth writeups carefully. Signings are indicated as well.  Sponsored by Sourcebooks.
