Summer of YA Reads
That’s Young Adult, in case you’re new at this 😉
Epic Reads Day is July 20th. For all you YA obsessed readers, it’s a new holiday that you won’t want to miss. Meet amazing authors such as Becky Albertalli (Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda), Adam Silvera (More Happy Than Not), Ibi Zoboi (American Street) and more at Epic Reads HQ.
Additionally, one of the most epic YA series of a generation, Harry Potter, is celebrating its 20 year anniversary since first being published in the US. In honor of Wizarding World fantastically taking over our lives, we are having an all out Potter-bration on July 31st at Strand. Dominate in HP trivia while enjoying delicious treats.

My Family Divided by Diane Guerrero
Before landing a spot on the megahit Netflix show Orange is the New Black; before wow-ing audiences as Lina on Jane the Virgin; and before her incredible activism and work on immigration reform, Diane Guerrero was a young girl living in Boston. One day, while Guerrero was at school, her undocumented immigrant parents were taken from their home, detained, and deported. Guerrero’s life, which had been full of the support of a loving family, was turned upside down. Meet Diane on July 17 at Strand.
