[OYAN] Resources for Teen Read Week™ (October 13-19, 2013)

[Katie Anderson]

It’s Almost Teen Read Week™ (October 13-19, 2013)

Teen Read Week™ is a national adolescent literacy initiative created by the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA). It began in 1998 and is held annually during the third week of October. Its purpose is to encourage teens to be regular readers and library users.

Teen Read Week's sub-theme for this year is Seek the Unknown @ your library, which encourages teens to explore and learn about the unknown through mystery, adventure, sci-fi, and fantasy books. (text from the TRW ning)
