Thirteen Reasons Why about loneliness and suicide You can just respond to the group, or email me off list Kirchner If you have read (or heard about) any books lately that you think could help a teen in jail deal with issues and make a difference in their growth, or is just a great read, please share some titles. Some with female protagonists some with male. We'd like to find books about all of the issues facing teens today, ranging from suicide to murder, from cutting to body art, from anorexia to gluttony.
And we're looking for YA Fiction & Non-Fiction titles for teens behind bars. Some nifty stuff.Īnyway, now we're going to put together a library for teens at the Clark County Juvenile Detention Center. Click on Media and you can hear the kids' poems. I've been Poet in Residence at several poetry slam workshops for them. I also work occasionally for Project Jericho, a group offering arts opportunities for at-risk teens in Clark County, OH. Just joined the Goodreads site and this group.
I'm Fred Kirchner, teen librarian at one of the Dayton, Ohio's branch libraries.
