Teens Know Best
A book club for teens, led by teens.
Join Teens Know Best! TKB is for teens, ages 12-18, who want to read and review YA books that aren’t available to the public yet. YA publishers read TKB reviews and use them to influence the future of the publishing industry. We’re a safe space to meet other teens from around the city who love books too.
TKB is sponsored by Metropolitan State University and Saint Paul Public Library.
