YA Librarian Recommends…

A little bit of everything, chosen with intention (and maybe a little bit of mood reading).

Not every great read fits a theme - and sometimes the best books are the ones you stumble into unexpectedly. This month, I’m highlighting a mix of young adult titles handpicked by your librarian: ME! I’m sharing stories that stood out, stuck with me, or are just too good not to share.

You’ll find a range of genres, formats, and vibes - funny, intense, thought-provoking, fast-paced, and everything in between. Whether you’re looking for something light, something deep, or something you can’t put down, there’s something here for you.

📚 Stop by the Teen Room to check out what’s on display, and maybe find your next favorite book.
