Teen Read Week

Welcome to Teen Read Week, an initiative of the American Library Association.
"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." (Source: http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/yalsa/teenreading/trw/trw2008/index.cfm)

To celebrate Teen Read Week, we are creating a bulletin board in the library called "SHS Reads." Students are encouraged to stop by the library and have their photos taken with their favorite books. These photos will be the focus of the bulletin board. Staff are invited to participate as well. Please stop in to help us share the joy of reading with our students.
