Suggest a purchase
We love, love, LOVE book recommendations. Is there a book (or magazine or game…) you want to see in our library that isn’t there? Please let us know! Some titles might not be approved for middle school, but we do our best to buy the books you want to read. Make a recommendation here.
Not sure what to read next?
Please keep in mind – these are great resources for finding something new to read, but not all the books they list have been evaluated by AACPS librarians. From here on down, you’re making your own decisions about what to read. Not sure if a book is right for you? Ask a trustworthy adult!
