Celebrate Teen Read Week! (Oct 17-23)

The readwritethink is sponsoring "Teen Read Week" during the 3rd week of October.

The goal is to encourage Teens to read for the fun of it, as hundreds of libraries, schools, and bookstores celebrate Teen Read Week October 17-23.

This year's theme, “Books with Beat @ your library," encourages teens to read poetry, audiobooks, books about music, and more.
