Teen Read Week!



October 16-22 is Teen Read Week, according to YALSA, (that's Young Adult Library Services Association for anyone who is curious). What exactly is Teen Read Week? It began in 1998 and is celebrated in libraries around the world. This year's theme is Picture It @Your Library. To go along with that theme, our library windows are full of graphic novels and books about art and photography.

As part of this year's celebration, this week only, come into the library, check out a book and guess the number of pennies in the jar. We have NO idea how many are in there, until the following week when the pennies will be counted and the guesses will be reviewed. Four lucky winners will be announced. The student with the closest guess will recieve a $25 gift certificate to Barnes and Noble. Three runners up will be able to pick a poster from our collection. What are you waiting for? Come to the library and start reading!
