"LOL @ your library®" during Teen Read WeekTM 2007
Teen Read Week™ is a national literacy initiative aimed at teens, their parents, librarians and educators. It is celebrated each year during the third week of October. Since 1998, Teen Read Week™ has encouraged teens to:
Make time to read for the fun of it
Use their local library to discover their interests
Get reading materials and participate in events at their school or public library
Teen Read Week™ is administered by the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), the fastest growing division of the American Library Association. For 50 years YALSA has been the world leader in selecting reading, listening and viewing for teens.
