Our YA collection is full of hot new reads for teens of all interests! Even if your teen isn’t that excited by the idea of sitting down with a good book, the BWG Library has a great collection of Graphic Novels to help. Graphic Novels are a great way to help teen readers develop a deeper appreciation for storytelling and reading. The BWG Library’s graphic novels collection includes works that can introduce reluctant readers to the works of Margaret Atwood and Agatha Christie. And beyond that, they’re just plain fun.
