EMAIL THE YA LIBRARIANS
WHERE IS THE YA SECTION?
In addition to books from the Children’s Room, you will find books for school or fun in the Adult Wing of the Library. Fiction, including paperbacks, is on the main level near the Reference Desk. Nonfiction is on the lower level. YA is short for Young Adult, and any book with a YA label is written for teens. Can’t find what you need? ASK! Any librarian will be glad to help you. |
