For Teens & Children
To share MARCH with younger readers in Bedford, we have partnered with the Youth Services librarians at the Bedford Free Public Library and with the Bedford Public Schools to develop programming and supplementary materials for students at all grade levels.
Click here for an annotated list of additional books about the Civil Rights Movement and Rep. John Lewis: MARCH Bibliography for Children and Teens
Note: The MARCH trilogy is appropriate for high school students, middle school students, and some upper elementary students. There are scenes of violence and injustice that may be difficult for some readers.
