“Reading Rocks!” is the theme for Teen Read Week to be held Oct. 17-23. This will be the second year of the observance, sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA).
National Teen Read Week partners include the American Association of School Administrators, America Booksellers Association, National Association of Secondary School Principals, National Education Association and National Council of Teachers of English.
“Teenagers are an age group that has been off the radar screen in terms of literacy efforts, says YALSA President Joel Shoemaker. “Our goal is to remind teens how enjoyable reading can be and to encourage them to use the resources available at their library.”
Daviess County Library and Gallatin R-5 Schools will have a scavenger hunt for the eighth graders in Mrs. St. John’s classes on Oct. 20.
