YA Booklist: Exploring Identify, Adversity, and Perseverance

Abstract

The YA Booklist, “Exploring Identity, Adversity & Perseverance,” offers an opportunity to explore various human identities and experiences of adversity and perseverance through non-fiction and fiction Young Adult titles. Young people often use the library and library catalogue to seek out information that not only portrays their identities, but also confirms that what they are experiencing is normal and similarly experienced by others. Incorporating a booklist such as this into a library catalogue can be invaluable to young patrons as they search for information that speaks to their struggles and experiences.
