The Young Adult area of the Library is designed especially to meet the needs of our middle school aged patrons. The collection is  made up of  books, audio books, and magazines. There are nonfiction books with subjects that young teens will especially find helpful and reference materials for a teen's reading level.   Videos, DVDs, and Music CDs are located in the Adult collection.
