YOUNG ADULT BOOKS

We recognize that our middle school students include individuals with a wide range of different life experiences, whose families hold diverse values.

The materials in our library collections reflect the variety in the lives of our students.  This YA sign is on display in multiple locations within our library. During library orientation each year, we emphasize that reading choices are up to each student and their family.

We support parents in guiding their children in what they read, view, and listen to. If you do not want your middle school student(s) to have access to books in our Young Adult (YA) collection, you must complete the YA Opt-Out form:

YA Opt-Out Form for Parents

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Mrs. Hahn using one of the methods in the Contact section above.
