Celebrate Teen Read Week!

teen read week 

Books with Beat @ your library®

Poetry, audiobooks, books about music 

“Why is it important to celebrate? For a lot of reasons! Teens have so many options for entertainment, so it's important to remind them to spend time reading for pleasure: it's free, fun, and can be done anywhere! Research shows that teens who read for fun have better test scores and are more likely to succeed in the workforce. Also, it’s a great chance to let your school or your public library communities know how important teen services are! Let teens know the possibilities that exist within your doors, and within the covers of books.” – www.ala.org

Teen Read Week is an initiative of the  Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA)
