Teen Programs: This & That

YA Librarian Recommends…

June is ✨Pride Month✨ - a time to celebrate identity, community, self-expression, and the many stories that help people feel seen and understood. This month’s featured reads highlight LGBTQ+ voices and experiences across genres, from joyful and affirming stories to thoughtful explorations of identity, friendship, family, love, and resilience.

Whether you’re looking for a story that reflects your own experiences, hoping to better understand someone else’s, or simply searching for a great read, we hope these books help you connect, discover, and feel welcome.

📚 Stop by the Teen Room or ask your librarian to help you find your next read.
