Bibliotherapy for Teens: An Expanded Booklist
Our November feature article and booklist "Bibliotherapy for Teens" by Erin E. Moulton received an outpouring of positive feedback from educators, authors, and librarians all over the globe. Here's what some of them said:
"Thank you so much for this! It would have been great to just read the article as a reminder that fiction can and should be suggested for growth, succor, and learning, but to then give us your book list is invaluable! As teen librarians, we reinvent the wheel too frequently, and sharing things like this list is so helpful—I can check to see which of these books I have, perhaps order some I don’t that sound valuable, add my own library’s details about location, and have a book list I didn’t have to painstakingly research and create myself!

“Do you have any books on anxiety?” he asks.
I decide to skip the reference interview with him. The last time, it seemed to mute him and he ran.
“Sure let me show you,” I say, quickly heading toward the 600s. “Do you think any of these will be helpful?” There’s John Giacobello’s Everything You Need to Know About Anxiety and Panic Attacks, Lisa M. Schab’s The Anxiety Workbook for Teens, and Freaking Out: Real Life Stories of Anxiety, edited by Polly Wells.
“No,” he says, picking at the binding of the book nearest him.
“Can you give me any more details on what you might want?”
“Definitely not what I’m looking for,” he mutters as he disappears.
The next time he comes in, something is different. He makes eye contact. “Do you have any books on anxiety…Not information, but stories about anxi
