New Titles for Teens Update

Be sure to check out the new titles for teens page! Three new excellent titles have been added to the shelf along with a few others! 


If you're into graphic novels and like history, you'll want to check out Vietnamerica: A Family's Story. Like Maus was a graphic novel retelling of the Holocaust during World War II, Vietnamerica gives a stunning and heartbreaking story of one family's experience while escaping Vietnam and the consequences thereafter.


For additional new titles, come into the library and check out our "New Titles" shelf! Happy Reading! :)
