The library staff is happy to assist you with book recommendations. Just ask!
There are displays in and around the library, on the library bookshelves, and on the bulletin boards. You can take any book available in the library!
If you still need some ideas, check out the links below. Or if you use social media, checkout bookstagram or booktok.
The library serves a wide range of ages, abilities, and diverse interests. Not every book will be suitable for every reader for any number of reasons. The library does not censor your reading choices but we will offer guidance as requested. Books that may have more mature content, stronger language, or portray diverse characters may be marked with a green star or a rainbow flag. Not every book has been identified as such.
If you find one that is unmarked and would like us to consider it for labeling, please let us know. If you begin any book that makes you uncomfortable or any book that you just do not like for any reason, please return it at your convenience and find another book.
You will be signed in automatically (most likely) to your Blue Valley library account if you are on a district device.
If you are not on a district device, you can sign in with your BV Student ID and your birthdate (mm/dd) for your Pin #

LitPick promotes reading and writing among young adults. We are exclusively dedicated to providing preteen and teen opinions on new young adult literature by encouraging students from 4th grade through college to read and write reviews on new young adult titles.
Please become a member of our growing online LitPick community. By becoming a member, you can share your perspective on young adult literature with our student reviewers and with other LitPick members by creating new forum topic and by adding your voice to current forum discussions.
Authors, publishers, and publicists who are members will have the chance to converse with our student reviewers through the LitPick forum where there are discussions about specific books, reading, and other related young adult topics. Parents and educators can also join in these forum discussions for insight into what books are hot among today's young adults.
You will also receive special, member-only content, giveaways, contest announcements, and other exclusive offers. Once a month, you can also choose to receive our newsletter which highlights new and advance books that our student reviewers have liked during the preceding month.
There are two types of membership: a Litpick membership is free and gives you access to the website and contests and giveaways only. Student Reviewer is a different type of membership that requires you to fill out an online application, list a faculty sponsor (Mrs. Nocita), and pay an annual fee.
You cannot submit reviews unless you are a Student Reviewer.
Who are we?
LitPick is a worldwide network of preteen and teen book reviewers offering book reviews written by young adults on young adult books.
Who can become a LitPick student book reviewer?
Any student from fourth grade to college can become a LitPick student book reviewer.
Do you have to be a good reader to become a LitPick student book reviewer?
No, not at all. You just need to love to read books.
Do LitPick student reviewers get to keep the book that they review?
Yes, reviewers keep printed review books after their review is posted on our site. Reviewers can also keep eBook review copies. However, the LitPick honor code for student reviewers includes a pledge not to share print or eBook copies with anyone else out of respect for the authors and publishers who have entrusted us with these review books.
