Teen Read Week

October 14 through 20

Join us for Teen Read Week, a national literacy initiative aimed at teens, their parents, librarians and educators. Since 1998, Teen Read Week has encouraged teens to:

· Make time to read for the fun of it
· Use their local library to discover their interests
· Get reading materials and participate in events at their school or public library

This year's theme encourages teens to read humorous books and graphic novels just 'for the fun of it'. Teen librarian Alanna Almstead encourages teens to stop by the library to check out some of the library's new titles. Take your chances on a new author or title and you could win big! Look in any young adult book during Teen Read Week and in addition to finding some great books, you could find a special bookmark entitling you to a "Get out of fines free" card good for one overdue item. All teens who find a bookmark will also be entered in a drawing for cool prizes. Stop by the library and check it out!
