Teen Read Week 2010

October is a busy month in the library world.  I am appropriately thankful in November that the pace has somewhat slowed.  Nancy Price at Harmony Middle has helped me fill my little nerd notebook I keep in my purse with fun library ideas to get the kids engaged.

Here is a display I did recently at Blue Ridge Middle for Teen Read Week.  I included YALSA'S Best Books for Teens list and pulled titles based on favorites submitted from the faculty and staff.  Apparently, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Yearling, and and the Sweet Valley High series were very popular in the 70s-80s. 

I went with the Read Like a Rock Star theme and hit Party City for some flashy decor.  Those little CDs AOL used to send in the mail a long time ago came in handy.  I TOLD my husband I would use them for something one day!  : )
