12-15 Year Olds Need Books! It's Time for Young Teen Lit
Monday June 16, 2025 11:10am - 11:55am EDT
Percival
Librarians know that books for 12-15-year-olds are hard to find. Middle grade is too young and YA is too mature.

We will have a lively discussion about books we love and books we want to see published.
