TEEN COLLECTIONS

• Fiction
  Young adult fiction consists of novels for readers from grade seven through grade 12. These are selected with attention to literary quality, relevance to teen life, current trends in teen literature and teen requests. The fiction collection includes mystery, fantasy and science fiction titles as well as historical and contemporary novels and short stories.

• Non-Fiction
  Most young adults use the adult non-fiction collection for school assignments. The Central Library offers a small young adult non-fiction collection concentrating on specific areas of interest to teens. These include careers, poetry, pop culture, self-image and self-development, popular celebrities, sports and writing.

• Graphic Novels
  This is a developing collection of titles that integrate graphic art into the storyline as an essential element. A format rather than a genre, graphic novels include titles that are fiction and non-fiction. The Central Library has a separate collection of graphic novels in the upstairs Teen Corner in addition to titles in the adult non-fiction collection.

• Magazines and Paperbacks
  Teen magazines in both English and Spanish are available for browsing and checkout, and paperback copies of popular series and authors can be checked out at Central and branch libraries.
  For help in selecting or finding materials, please ask a member of the Library staff.
