Teen Read Week™ 2008Register today for Teen Read Week 2008, Oct. 12-18. Teen Read Week's 2008 theme is Books with Bite @ your library! Teen Read Week is an initiative of the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), which is the fastest-growing division of the American Library Association. 2008 marks the 11th anniversary of Teen Read Week! Why is it important to celebrate? For a lot of reasons! Teens are not really reading for fun these days, and reading scores have not been improving for this age group over the last few decades. 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. More than 4,800 school and public libraries registered to participate in Teen Read Week last year. Join the fun and register now! If you have other questions, please take a look at our most frequently asked questions or email YALSA.
