The '''Alex Awards''' annually recognize "ten books written for adults that have special appeal to young adults ages 12 through 18".<ref name=home/> Essentially, the award is a listing by the [[American Library Association]] parallel to its annual Best Books for Young Adults, a longer list of recommended books that have been promoted in the YA category. Since 2002, the Alex Awards have been administered by the [[Young Adult Library Services Association]] (YALSA), a division of the [[American Library Association]] (ALA). YALSA also names several other "Top Tens" annually.<ref name=toptens/>▼

The Alex Awards annually recognize "ten books written for adults that have special appeal to young adults ages 12 through 18".[1] Since 2002, the Alex Awards have been administered by the Young Adult Library Services Association, a division of the American Library Association.[2]
The awards, initially bestowed in 1998, were named after Baltimore librarian Margaret Alexander Edwards, who was known as "Alex". They are sponsored by the Margaret Alexander Edwards Trust and Booklist magazine.[3] Books published during the previous year are eligible for the awards.
