Find books and materials featuring social justice themes in juvenile and teen literature at University Libraries through this guide. This guide was developed in part using the Southern Poverty Law Center's Teaching Tolerance framework. These books emphasize diversity, combat injustice, and advocate for equity and human rights for all.

Please let us know if you have suggestions, ideas or feedback about this guide or materials you think we should have! 
Special thanks to Lauren Seegmiller for putting this guide together.
