YA GOTTA READ THIS BOOK!
"READ THIS & HOLLA BACK"
YA Gotta Read This! celebrates the healing power of art through the lens of literature and artistic expression. Our young adult book club programs are designed to reach reluctant readers (primarily, Black males, ages 13—17), celebrate the book as art, and amplify Black voices.
Join us for a celebration of young adult reading recommendations through meaningful dialogue. Enjoy a premium blend of pop-up library, YA books, reader's advisory, book discussions, and art therapy starring our favorite librarians and educators with dignitaries, literacy advocates, authors, illustrators, and other Blerds.
