Library Director, Susan Pieper, looks over the new \u201ctop ten\u201d books for teens.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Paulding County Carnegie Library (PCCL) has won the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) 2018 Teens\u2019 Top Ten giveaway. Funded by a grant provided by the Dollar General Literacy Foundation, these new titles will not only further enrich the library\u2019s teen collection but will also attract teens to the library.<\/p>\n

The Teens\u2019 Top Ten is a \u201cteen choice\u201d list, where teens nominate and choose their favorite books of the previous year. Nominators are members of teen book groups in 16 school and public libraries around the country. Nominations are posted on the Thursday of National Library Week, and teens across the country are encouraged to read as many nominees as they can over the summer. Readers ages twelve to eighteen will then vote online between August 15 and Teen Read Week to select their favorites. The ten titles with the most votes become the year\u2019s Teens\u2019 Top Ten. To learn more and to access a free Teens\u2019 Top Ten Toolkit, visit www.ala.org\/yalsa\/teenstopten.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fifty titles will be distributed between all library Paulding library locations\u201d, shares Susan Pieper, Library Director. \u201cTeen fiction authors address many subjects and issues facing today\u2019s teens. Death of a family member, substance abuse, bullying, romance and more subjects are weaved into well-written stories. Teens enjoy reading fiction where there is a protagonist that survives a situation or resolves a conflict by the end of the book. Some of the resolutions are unexpected, and like life, not all have happy endings.\u201d<\/p>\n

The mission of the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) is to support library staff in alleviating the challenges teens face, and in putting all teens \u2012 especially those with the greatest needs \u2012 on the path to successful and fulfilling lives.
