Coeur d'Alene Public Library

YA Graphic Novels

Our YA Graphic Novel collection is located in the heart of the Teen Zone. This collection is organized by character (such as Batman, Spider-man, etc) or series (like Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia, etc). If a title doesn’t fit those criteria, it’s alphabetized by the last name of the author.

This is where the majority of our teen clubs meet. These club offerings may change to meet the needs of teens and staff. Subscribe to our teen newsletter at cdateenzone.substack.com to be kept up to date on what’s happening!

We have several passive activity stations in the space, such as mini-challenges and origami. The button-making station is also within reach, where you can recycle damaged and withdrawn graphic novels into pinback buttons.

The library’s Nintendo Switch is also in this area. You can checkout the Switch equipment box from the front desk and play the library’s switch for 2-hour sessions on the big screen TV. Use the pre-installed digital games, or checkout a Switch game (from the Video Game collection) that you’d like to try!

The D&D Kits also live here. These kits include everything you need to play a session of D&D as a DM or as a player. Checkout a kit and take it to your next D&D session!

YA Non-Fiction

Our YA Non-Fiction collection is tucked away a bit and features higher tables that are more task and study friendly. Our non-fiction collection includes a lot of homework help, as well as hobby and special interest how-to guides, art books, cookbooks, game manuals, etc. Want to learn something new? Want to know how to do something? The guide is likely here. This collection is organized by the Dewey Decimal System, so it’s organized by numbers that refer to certain subjects.

Video Games & Teen Prize Shelf

Our Video Game collection is located just outside of the Teen Zone. We have video games for all the major consoles, including Nintendo Switch, Nintendo 3DS, PS5, PS4, XBOX Series X, and XBOX One. We also have a small collection of extra controllers for all of the major consoles and mini classic consoles (for Playstation, NES, and Sega).

The Teen Prize Shelf is right next to the Video Game collection. It includes donated ARCs (Advanced Reader Copies) for titles that have come out in the last six months, as well as donated classics and other YA books that have been gently-loved. We almost always have some sort of challenge going on where you can win prize books. Subscribe to our teen newsletter at cdateenzone.substack.com to be kept up to date on what’s happening!
