Question: What and When Is Teen Read Week?
Answer: Teen Read Week is a literacy initiative of the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), a division of the American Library Association. It’s an annual event, which is held the third week in October (October 13-19, 2013). Across the United States, public and school libraries, schools and bookstores take part in Teen Read Week. The focus of Teen Read Week is on encouraging teens to regularly read books just for fun so that recreational reading becomes a habit. For example, in 2013, the theme is "Seek the Unknown @your library" and teens are encouraged to read a variety of materials, including graphic novels, movies, books and more. At O'Neill Public Schools, we are celebrating by having another book give away. This time, any students who "share" something from the O'Neill Library Facebook Page (and have "liked" them), will be entered in the drawing. One catch however, is that you must come post here, with the time and date you shared, along with naming your favorite book or author! See you @ your library!
