A panel of authors will discuss how teen novels provide an outlet to explore topics such as diversity, family dynamics, friendships, sexuality, relationships, and coping with loss. Panelists include Liza Wiemer, Lisa Maxwell, Martina Boone, Hannah Barnaby, Kelly Fiore, Danielle Ellison, Jodi Meadows, and blogger Hannah McBride.

Books will be available for purchase through an arrangement with Politics and Prose Bookstore with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Friends of the Library, Bethesda Chapter.
