We did it!

We had an amazing day at the Young Adult Book Festival on Saturday! A huge THANK YOU to Stowmarket Library for hosting the event, and to all the staff, volunteers and authors who spent the day making our celebration of Young Adult books and readers happen.

There are more photos on the YA Book Festival page, but here is our fantastic YA book recommendation board, with contributions from participants, authors, library staff – and even a couple from the Mayor of Stowmarket, who kindly gave the event an official opening for us.

Zoom in for some brilliant reading inspiration, and feel free to share your own Young Adult book recommendations in the comments.
