One of the most common questions that librarians get asked is, 

“What book should I read?”  

Picking your next book is a personal decision.  It is an opportunity for you to explore books outside of the school curriculum and school recommended reading lists.  An opportunity to expand your world view and experience new insights.  Below are some links to some outside resources designed to help you locate some of the fantastic books that are awaiting your reading adventure.  Or you can of course come by the library and the librarian will be happy to help!


​So how do you pick the right book?

Use a Book Finder Database
Use a Book List
Use a Book Award List

Ask a friend, teacher, or parent
Ask a librarian!


Picked your next book? 
Now find it at a library

​
Note:  The books on the award lists and book lists have been selected for teens (12 to 18 years  of age).  The titles span a wide range of reading and maturity levels.  The lists are being provided as resources for students and their families.  MCHS is not recommending any specific books for students and encourages parents to take an active role in helping individual teens choose books - movies and social media - that are the best fit for them and their families.
