Modern Second Library
It is now time to grow and expand on this idea by introducing the MODERN SECOND LIBRARY. These will be selections from our Middle Grade section of chapter books that will continue the idea of highlighting books that make a difference in our world by giving young people exposure to great writers and new ideas, showing them kids that are like them and those that may be different, all the while provoking discussion, reflection, and thought. Like our Modern First Library, new books will be added several times a year so that the Modern Second Library will continue to grow and inspire.
