Teen Read Photo Board Is Here!
If you’re a teen (grades 7 through 12) and you have a favorite book, let the world know! Get a head start on Teen Read Week and star in your own READ mini-poster. Here’s how: Pick your favorite book, write down the title, author and (in 25 words or less) why you think it’s the best. Bring in your book (or we’ll try to find a copy in the collection) and your entry to TeenSpace between September 20 and October 8. We’ll take your picture and include the photo of you and your book and why you love it on our photo board, which will be displayed in TeenSpace during Teen Read Week (October 15-21). All teens who enter will receive a small prize, and qualify for a bigger prize drawing to be held during Teen Read Week. Co-sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
