The TAYSHAS High School Reading List Committee coordinates activities associated with the TAYSHAS program, a reading incentive program designed for young adults in Texas, grades 9-12, who are encouraged to read books for pleasure from a selected reading list prepared by the TAYSHAS Committee. Due to the diversity of this age range, Texas librarians should purchase titles on this list according to their collection policies.
