Now we’re going to focus on what you want to promote to teens. Reading.
The appeal of realistic fiction is that it connects with the everyday lives of teens. A teen doesn’t have to suffer from a mental illness to appreciate a novel about obsessive-compulsive disorder. All he has to experience are a few stomach-clenching bouts of anxious double-checking to make sure that today’s homework is actually in his backpack. During the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s, young adult fiction broke through the rosy mist of twentieth-century youth literature of teen romance, adventure, sports, mystery, and animal stories with novels that explored the social issues affecting teens’ lives.

By looking through Building Teen Collections your collections, you will learn what is available to teens at your library. You will also learn what is less available, or missing.
