When you read a fantastic Grades 5-8 review in School Library Journal, what collection does that book go in to at your library? Several libraries have created Young Teen collections to meet the need of readers stuck in the middle between children’s and Young Adult. Come hear why we are passionate about these new collections from 3 different libraries with 3 different approaches. We will share options and steps so you can create a Young Teen collection at your library. These collections mostly include fiction and graphic novels but also include audiobooks, DVDs, Playaways, and games.
