TEEN READ WEEK OCTOBER 14-20
Teen Read Week theme for 2012 is “Picture It@ your library.” This year’s theme challenges teens to find out what titles are lurking in the library stacks. It encourages students to read magazines, graphic novels, magazines, books, and e-books, just for the fun of it. Of course, the most important aspect of this celebration is that YOU READ! Remember– I am your guide to picking a book just for you. Just ask me. “Don’t make a permanent decision for your temporary emotion.” ~anonymous TRY THIESE WEBSITES TO HELP YOU CHOOSE A BOOK
