Being a teenager is hard. Being a teenager in the age of social media and technology is even harder. Being a teenager with all of that AND coming out of pandemic. . .well, you get the picture.
Our teens need resources to help deal with life's pressures.
This year in our library, I started a small section in our school library with "Care for Yourself" books dealing with mental health and relationships. Within two weeks, more than a quarter of them had been checked out. I was shocked at the demand.
We need more books to help more teens. Help me build this library section as our teens go through the tough stuff of modern life and challenges. Thank you for considering and for your support!
More than a third of students from low‑income households
