It makes me wonder if I'm reading it enough, promoting it enough, and if I'm purchasing the right books. I know that teens are gathering information online for reports and projects. They seem to come in to the library looking for something only if their teacher's required a book in the bibliography.
The one subject that generates interest is biographies. Every now and then, a school class needs to read a biography. More than a few people ask for one and that gets my attention. I've recently updated our selection. We had a number of educational biographies, but now we have some pop culture ones. These have gone out a few times, but nothing spectacular.
We have some fun books too - along the lines of drawing books, beauty and makeup tips, vampires, ghosts, monsters, and forensic books. I wonder if I'm purchasing the right materials.
Are there must have nonfiction titles for a teen collection?
