Teen Read Week

Teen Read Week 2011

The theme for this year’s Teen Read Week is Picture It @ your library. As part of the celebration, YALSA (Young Adult Library Services Association) wants to see your interpretation of a teen book title. Not your favorite character or scene. Not an abstract thematic analysis no one can figure out. The title! You can be serious or silly, but you must use creativity and you’re required to have fun.

More info on the contest can be found by clicking here. And the entry form can be found by clicking here.

Five finalists will win bookbags stuffed with teen novels from Penguin.  One grand prize winner will get that e-reader!  . You have from now until the end of October to enter, so click away! 
To read more visit Jay's site here!

Teens' Top Ten voting is now open! Vote on your favorite books through Sept. 15 at www.ala.org/teenstopten. The winners will be announced during Teen Read Week.
