Multicultural Books

As you all know, this summer's reading program has a very international theme.  "You are Here" for the teens and "One World, Many Stories" for the children.  To go along with the theme, I have put together a list of the multicultural books that can be found in our YA collection.  I'll share the list with you here, but it will also be posted on the library's website in the teen section under booklists.  Enjoy!
