Join the Nassau & Suffolk YASD for our Annual Joint Meeting! February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, and with 1 out of every 3 teens affected by this issue, it’s important for librarians to have the resources they need to tackle this epidemic.
Young adult author Heather Demetrios’ recent novel, Bad Romance, deals with it head on. She’ll be talking to us about her own abusive relationship as a teen and how it inspired her to write 
a novel that authentically shows how a teen could get into an abusive relationship, and why it’s so hard to get out. In addition to her own story, she’ll be sharing some of the stories she’s heard from her teen and adult readers, and provide resources that will help our libraries be a safe space for teens dealing with abusive relationships.
