While the Y2K bug never happened (ask your older relatives about it), Y2K style and culture has made a comeback. You may have already raided closets for your aunt, uncle, older cousin’s (or even your parents’) old clothes. Maybe you’re streaming some of their favorite songs from when they were your age. So how about checking out some of the books they might have read?
The DKPL Teen collection still has some hidden gems that were award-winning and/or popular 20-25 years ago (these ones are still on the shelf, so don’t be shy about asking a staff member for help if you can’t find them). Check them out! We promise that they have aged better than dial-up internet and low-rise jeans.
