Parenting

for children in the Children’s Department!

multitude of parenting topics for parents of 
children of all ages. Be sure to browse this 
section while your child reads, studies, or

YA Book Club
3rd floor Teen Department		 Elizabeth teen patrons can start 
their own Book Club! Each Book Club kit 
comes with up to six copies of a book, a 
discussion guide, and a recommended reading
list. A patron can “hold” any number of books 
for book club members, who then have five 
days to come and collect the book. Book Club 
picks include The Hate U Give, March, and 
Queer: A Graphic History. 
Biographies
2nd floor Balcony		 Looking to learn more about your favorite 
musician, thinker, writer, or artist? We now 
have all of our biographies in one location, 
up on the 2nd floor balcony. Our new biographies 
can be found on the 2nd floor by the new books. 
Please note that some memoirs will be located 
throughout the general nonfiction collection.
