We’re thrilled to share the 2024 Teen Best Reads (TBR) book list!
This annual list, created by our TBR interns, highlights the best young adult titles of 2024 across genres, including manga, fiction, nonfiction, and graphic novels.
Our TBR interns made up of Chicago teens with a passion for books have spent the year reading, discussing, and carefully evaluating over 250 titles to craft this meaningful and diverse list. Designed for teens, by teens, the TBR list serves as a fantastic resource for young readers in Chicago, offering peer-recommended picks that inspire connection, discovery, and fun.
This year, we’ve also partnered with Chicago artist Clue? to design a series of vibrant bookmarks that celebrate the essence of our city, the journey of growing up, and the magic of discovering new perspectives. Each bookmark includes a playful spray paint cloud, perfect for jotting down your thoughts about a book or adding titles to your personal TBR (to be read) list.
Where to Find the TBR List and Bookmarks?
You can pick up a TBR bookmark starting Dec 20th at your local Chicago Public Library branch. While supplies last.
