January 19: Journey into the Darkness: Summer Reading Programs with Charli Osborne

With three carefree months of no school, no homework, long days and warm nights,  the summer is the perfect time to get teens reading! Join Charli Osborne for a discussion of books and programming ideas to help you and your teen readers "Own the Night" this summer. From vampires to dystopias to ghost hunting and astronomy, participants will gain ideas for genre-based reading lists that are sure to have teen-appeal.  Each night-themed reading list will be accompanied by a programming idea.  From low-maintenance passive programming, to easy game-show ideas to an extensive book-themed lock-in, there is a program for every library and every budget. Join us as we journey into the night!
