Teen Read Month
October is Teen Read Month!
Teen Read Month is a celebration of teens, reading and libraries for teens, parents, librarians, educators, booksellers, and other concerned adults. Teen Read Month encourages teens and the adults in their lives to make time to read for the fun of it. It is an extension of the Young Adult Library Services Association's Teen Read Week, a national literacy initiative.
