Teen Read Week is an initiative of the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA). Teen Read Week started in 1998. This year's theme is Picture It @ your library®, which encourages teens to read graphic novels and other illustrated materials, seek out creative books, or imagine the world through literature, just for the fun of it. Libraries across the world celebrate Teen Read Week with a variety of special events and programs aimed at encouraging teens to read for pleasure and to visit their libraries for free reading materials.
The Mountlake Terrace library will encourage teens to celebrate reading for the whole month of
October (Teen Read Month). This summer I helped to
brainstorm some ideas for blog contests, workshops, and booklists
for the
local Mountlake Terrace library. Here are
the Horror for Teens booklist and the
Top 20 Manga Booklist.
