To kick off the 2022-2023 academic year, Bird Library has curated a collection of Throwback Fiction for College Students! The display features titles from the early 21st century to the present, honoring popular novels and series that have a special place in the hearts of Generation Z! Topics include a variety of Children's Literature, Teen Novels, Young Adult Fiction, and Classic Titles for high school students. Incorporate your favorite titles into your academic research with the Literary Criticism titles provided. We have also provided a list of popular Musical Theatre titles, as well as Film and Documentary databases the library provides. Use Libraries Search for more sources pertaining to criticism and analysis on your favorite novels and shows.
This guide, and the accompanying physical display in Bird Library, was curated by second-year graduate student McKenzie Rybka (M.M. candidate in vocal performance, College of Visual and Performing Arts). McKenzie works in the Libraries' Department of Research and Scholarship with our collections team.
