Finding Your Voice Teen Book Club

When

Finding Your Voice Book Club is now Teen Book Chat.

Finding Your Voice Book Club focuses on books about young people finding their voice and ways to speak up for themselves. Through the books, teens have a chance to have a mirror to explore their own experiences or a window to learn about others’ experiences. By sharing experiences, we hope to gain empathy for others and be inspired by them to be advocates for themselves and the injustices we see in our world.

Reading List: 
The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo
I Am Alfonso Jones by Tony Medina
Gabi, A Girl in Pieces by Isabel Quintero
Piecing Me Together by Renée Watson
Anger is a Gift by Mark Oshiro
