  • Audiobooks
  • Series Fiction
  • Graphic Novels, Manga and Comics

Check out the special displays highlighting new books or exceptional books! BTW, the Youth Services Lead gets a lot of ideas of what to buy from the teens themselves! If you have a great idea for something the Teen Zone should own, contact Melena Tanner: mtanner@ci.benicia.ca.us
