This is the second post in a five-part series about YALSA's Outstanding Books for the College Bound and Lifelong Learners list. (Here you can find Part 1/5: OBCB Arts & Humanities and Part 3/5: OBCB Literature & Language Arts.) YALSA's booklist is broken down into five sections: Arts & Humanities, History & Cultures, Literature & Language Arts, Science & Technology, and Social Sciences. This is the second blog post of a five-part series that will cover all of these subjects and give you direct links to the titles from this booklist that we have access to at the Coeur d'Alene Public Library (at the time of posting). The links are here to help you quickly place holds or find out more information about a title. Outstanding Books for the College Bound: History & Cultures
We don't have access to every title on the list, but feel free to request that we purchase a missing title or format through our Purchase Suggestion Form. This form is the best way to request things whether its a title that we don't have in any format, or even just not in your favorite format.
Also, don't be afraid to submit a question about your homework or ask for some personalized reading recommendations. You can submit these types of questions anonymously through the Study Buddy Help Form at any time. If I think it needs to be addressed in the blog, I'll pause this series and address it. I hope you find this helpful and interesting!

Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) presents a booklist called, Outstanding Books for the College Bound and Lifelong Learners, every five years for books that "offer opportunities to discover new ideas, and provide an introduction to the fascinating variety of subjects within an academic discipline". They are intended to help readers "gain an understanding of our diverse world and build a foundation to deepen their response to that world" (YALSA). Recently, YALSA released a new list, and I thought it might deepen someone's understanding of an academic subject area and was worth spotlighting. YALSA's booklist is broken down into five sections: Arts & Humanities, History & Cultures, Literature & Language Arts, Science & Technology, and Social Sciences. This is the first blog post of a five-part series that will cover all of these subjects and give you direct links to the titles from this booklist that we have access to at the Coeur d'Alene Public Library (at the time of posting). The links are here to help you quickly place holds or find out more information about a title. (Part 2/5: OBCB History & Culture can be found here.)
