We have some new books in the Teen Corner!  The YA McNaughtons are
recently published teen fiction, which we have leased for our collection.  The books will be in the library for a few months before being returned to McNaughton.  The books circulate for only two weeks rather than the regular four week loan period.  They are shelved right after our Graphic Novel Collection. So check them out and enjoy!
