The Teen Summer Reading Experience Was A Blast!

Congratulations to our Teen Summer Reading Experience raffle prize winners! Jael, Alison, and Ana earned tickets through tracking reading hours and completing various summer reading challenges. Thanks to all who participated; looking forward to seeing you throughout the school year.

Straight from the Teens "The reading challenge was a good way to find new books and try different genres." "The free books and raffle tickets also helped to entice you to read more." "This was my first year doing the summer reading program in the teen room. I thought it was a lot of fun!" "The Summer Reading Program this year was a lot of fun! I enjoyed the space theme." "I enjoyed it and also enjoy getting rewarded for reading...and also having activities to do instead of sitting around doing nothing."

I'm Interested in Finding Out Hi Teens, Stacey here! I'm interested in finding out how I can help make Teen Services all about you...the TEENS ! On your next visit, stop by the second floor and share your ideas concerning programs , activities , decor , and anything else you think will help me understand what teens want.
