TEEN RESOURCES
Find great teen books!
Search 4,000+ books, audiobooks, and films from YALSA’s book awards and book lists.
While these books have been selected for teens from 12 to 18 years of age, the award-winning titles and the titles on YALSA’s selected lists span a broad range of reading and maturity levels. We encourage adults to take an active role in helping individual teens choose those books that are the best fit for them and their families.
The Teens’ Top Ten is a “teen choice” list, where teens nominate and choose their favorite books of the previous year! Nominators are members of teen book groups in fifteen school and public libraries around the country. Nominations are posted on the Thursday of National Library Week, and teens across the country vote on their favorite titles each year. Readers ages twelve to eighteen will vote online between August 15 – October 15 here on the Teens’ Top Ten site.
6-12 GD TEACHER RESOURCES
If you would like a staff member to collect books, audiobooks, or movies for you on a particular theme, subject, or author, you will need to fill out a teacher collection request form two weeks in advance of when you want to pick-up the books.
