YOUNG ADULT COLLECTIONS

The young adult collections are selected with our teen patrons in mind. The themes, language, and situations are appropriate for that age group, roughly middle school through high school readers. You will find young adult materials in the following sections:

Young Adult Nonfiction

This small but growing collection contains high-interest nonfiction materials, many with more mature themes than nonfiction located in the children's nonfiction.

Young Adult Fiction

This collection contains works of fiction by writers specializing in literature for teens and includes fantasy, science fiction, fantasy, and more. These titles are arranged alphabetically by author's last name.

Young Adult Graphic Novels

One of the most popular collections in the library, this fledgling group of books includes graphic novels (novels in comic panel format), manga, collected volumes of previously published comics, collections of comic strips, and selected single issue comics. Subject matter runs the gamet from popular comic strip characters to superheros, to original works such as Bone. We are always looking for suggestions for this dynamic collection. You can recognize the YA comics by the GN and author's last name printed on the spine label.

Browsers can also find audio books on cassette and CD as well as DVDs and magazines for young adults.
