Book Group: The Collectors: stories

The Library AF book group will be meeting IN PERSON for the rest of 2025. Please find us at the Sacramento LGBT Center in the Lambda Founder's Room on the 2nd Wednesday of each month from 6:30 - 7:30 p.m.

Our anthology pick for 2025 is a collection of short stories from some of the best YA authors in the game.

“From Michael L. Printz Award winner A.S. King and an all-star team of contributors including Anna-Marie McLemore and Jason Reynolds, an anthology of stories about remarkable people and their strange and surprising collections.

From David Levithan’s story about a non-binary kid collecting pieces of other people’s collections to Jenny Torres Sanchez's tale of a girl gathering types of fire while trying not to get burned to G. Neri's piece about 1970's skaters seeking opportunities to go vertical—anything can be collected and in the hands of these award-winning and bestselling authors, any collection can tell a story. Nine of the best YA novelists working today have written fiction based on a prompt from Printz-winner A.S. King (who also contributes a story) and the result is itself an extraordinary collection."
