Finding Diverse Books - Book Lists
Fortunately there are several different awards and book lists you can use as a place to start. Once you find a book that works, you can use the search on the library home page to see if they library owns the item. If we don't have the item, or it's checked out to someone else, we can get you a copy from another library. Here are some lists that may be great places to start:
