Suggestions for Teen Collection

Do you have any suggestions for an item we should own in the Teen Collection? Have you come to the library looking for a title and not found it? Then add that to the Teen Collection Suggestion Box. Please give the title and author or any other info that would help me to identify it. All requests for purchases (including books, CDs, DVDs, games, magazines, etc.) will be taken seriously, but ultimately must comply with the Library's Collection Development policy. You can also always make a suggestion here on the blog, by leaving a comment. Any questions, comments, concerns email me at aquick@wlsmail.org.
