Building the Nation -- 1789-1840

Middle School Humanities with Sandy.

Looking for a book for your project?

Try these titles.
I limited this list to titles that are available at the Grand Army Plaza/Central branch of Brooklyn Public Library, in order to make a simple one-branch-library-stop possible.
Many of these titles are also available at other branches. Search for the specific titles to see if they are in a branch even closer to you.

Use the search terms at the bottom of the list to look for more titles in the BPL and NYPL catalogs.


I'll be at the Grand Army Plaza library on Sunday from 1:00-4:30pm, working on some writing/research of my own. If you want some help tracking down these or other books for your research, stop by. I'll try to be in the Young Adult section. If I'm not there, I'll leave a note at the YA-desk saying where I am.

Did you find a great book for this unit that should be added to our school collection? Tell me!
