Fink, M. (2011). Teen Read Week and Teen Tech Week: Tips and Resources for YALSA's Initiative. Chicago, IL: American Library Association. ISBN: 978-0-8389-8559-5.

Each year, the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) sponsors two national literacy initiatives: Teen Read Week(tm), which encourages teens to read for fun and become regular library users, and Teen Tech Week(tm), which encourages teens to take advantage of the free technology available at libraries. Since 2003, YALSA's award-winning quarterly journal, Young Adult Library Services has offered guidance for librarians planning Teen Read Week and Teen Tech Week events.

For the first time, YALSA has compiled the best YALS articles on teen reading and teen information literacy into one volume, Teen Read Week and Teen Tech Week: Tips and Resources for YALSA's Initiatives, launching its new Best of YALS series. Editor Megan Fink, middle school librarian at the Charlotte Country Day School and a former Teen Read Week chair, selected articles to form a manual that will offer guidance to librarians planning their annual events, with advice on best practices, collection development, outreach and marketing, program ideas and more.

In addition, YA authors Walter Dean Myers and Cynthia Leitich Smith and Best Teen Read Week contest winners Elizabeth Kahn and Jennifer Velásquez contributed original content about the importance of these initiatives and how they support teens' information needs, along with an introduction by YALSA past president Judy Nelson.

This project was funded by a 2010 Carnegie-Whitney Grant from the American Library Association.
