Northfield Public Library

80 plus years in the making...

Stuff for the Teen Age

For 80 years, New York Public Library staff shared the best titles for teens in an annual list called Books for the Teen Age.
Last year, Books for the Teen Age became Stuff for the Teen Age, a multimedia, multi-format, targeted, and teen-tested list of the best of the year in teen books, music, graphic novels, movies, games, and more.

This year, Stuff for the Teen Age becomes a blog.

We started with this list of the 100 best titles of last year, and we’ll be posting about our picks from the list, our picks from the current year, and a variety of other topics related to teen books and media.

February meeting time is fast approaching!

Please mark your calendars!  TAB's next meeting will be Monday, Feb. 7th at 6:45-8.  We will be discussing the results from our activity survey, the Mini-Golf event and trying out the Baking Kit from SELCO!?  If if works out well, we will be enjoying some good food- if it doesn't....

See ya there!

The survey says------------------
