Capitalize on Teen Read Week to create a program for teens. Encourage middle, junior and high school students by welcoming them to your library.
Teens are just about the most challenging group for libraries to reach.
They're notorious for putting almost everything ahead of reading. But they're not impossible to draw into your library. Today's teens say they would read more if they had the time. Mysteries are the most popular types of books among teens, followed by adventure, horror, and true stories. To encourage teens to read for enjoyment, the third annual Teen Read Week is scheduled for October 15-21, 2000.
