(TOMS RIVER, NJ) -- In light of current events, the Ocean County Library’s Teen Services staffers have assembled an online Teen Guide to Social Justice. The guide offers links to relevant print, eBook and video items available for free through OCL’s OverDrive(R), hoopla(R), kanopy(R), EBSCO(R), newsbank(R) and Access Video on Demand(R) digital services, and to the Library’s active catalog. The guide also includes a link to the Library’s digital membership card application form. 

Teens will find five categories for research and reference:

• Realistic Fiction – Digital novels by black authors, featuring black protagonists, and conveying themes that correspond to front-burner social issues.


• Nonfiction – eBooks that focus on black history and culture, pivotal events and people, and matters that leaders across America are confronting right now.


• Graphic Novels – An array of visually-oriented, downloadable fiction and nonfiction eBooks of historical, cultural and social value.


• Movies and Documentaries – Motion pictures and video presentations of milestones in the quest for civil rights, and people who advanced it.


• #BlackLivesMatter – Comprehensive information about the movement and the circumstances, including extensive interviews with its founders.

Registration for an Ocean County Library card is free, and can be completed online. The Ocean County Library Teen Guide to Social Justice can be accessed here.
