2016 may have been a dumpster fire of a year but at least there are GREAT books to read. Here are some of the best I read in the past 12 months.
Take a look at some of the popular books from 2016 recommended by the Teen Librarian. From slice-of-life stories to Non-Fiction books, there’s something for everyone (and not just for teens). If you don’t see a copy available, contact a librarian to place an item on hold for you!
