Young Adult Section Continues to Grow

What's new and coming to YA? Lots. Beginning with more Graphic Novels, a new set of Akira (to replace the old, very popular set that is a bit tattered) the Slayer Chronicles by Brewer, Withering Tights by Rennison and more SAT and SAT Subject Guide books. Ask the Librarian if you don't see what you want and remember, you can always request a new title whenever you like – online or in person.
