This article presents brief information on several books of teenagers. There are a few books for older girls even then: "Anne of Green Gables, A Girl of the Limberlost, " series about two girls. About fifteen years ago, the spate of these books began and has been going strong ever since. Today, teen-age books are supposed to supply a "bridge" between books for children and books for adults. In the Donnell Library, in New York, there is a children's book-room and a young people's book-room; the same teen-age books, with rare exceptions, are in both rooms, read by children aged ten to thirteen or fourteen or even older. In the young people's reading-room, 80 per cent of the titles are books written for adults.
