<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Teens (14-18) are invited to participate in a book club of
contemporary young adult novels. Books chosen will focus on some of the more
difficult topics teens face in their every day lives: relationships,
depression, substance abuse, violence, etc. This book club will promote
discussions of these issues and how authors have chosen to address them in
their novels.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Reading questions will be provided in advance for teens
interested in focusing the discussion, but most conversation will be driven
organically by what readers think about the book and the issues that come up
from reading. </span></div>

will be provided for parents and teens. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
