Teen Summer Reading Competition

 

 

What books are you enjoying this summer?

What books would you recommend to other area teens?

For each book that you read this summer stop by the teen area at the library and fill out a teen review/recommendation form. Return the forms to the "Beneath the Surface" jug located in the YA/Teen area.

Each week at least two review/recommendation forms will be drawn and prizes will be given. Let us know what books you loved and hated. Read a lot or read a little. You could win either way!

Prizes include movie theater tickets, iTunes gift cards,
cell phone holders, and more!
