📚 Back to School Reads!
New school year, new classes, new people, old friends, complicated feelings, and approximately a million things to figure out.
This month's Teen Room recommendations are all about school, but not necessarily about school. These are stories about finding your people, navigating friendships and family, falling in love (or trying to), dealing with expectations, discovering who you are, and occasionally surviving something much stranger than a pop quiz.
From graphic novels and contemporary stories to romance, mystery, horror, and books that will absolutely make you feel some feelings, there's a little bit of everything here.
Whether you're excited to be back, counting down the days until you're done, or somewhere in the middle, I hope you'll find a story that makes you laugh, think, stay up too late, or feel a little less alone.
📖 Stop by the Teen Room to browse the display or ask your librarian what to read next. I'm always happy to help you find your next great read!
