Johnson County Library 2023 Notable Books - Youth and Teen

We asked the youth services librarians at the Johnson County Library what books that were published this year that everyone needs to know about. We came up with 25 books across five categories: Youth Graphic Novels, Early Chapter Books, Upper Chapter Books, Picture Books, and Teen. We hope you enjoy this list and we'll see you next year!
