The club will run from Monday, January 24th, through Tuesday, March 15th, 2011.



Participants can earn fun prizes along the way, and everyone will be invited to a party. Although the club is mainly for those in grades 6 - 12, kids in grade 5 may sign-up also if they are interested.


Throughout the winter, teens and "tweens" will be able to visit this blog to see updates about the Teen Winter Reading Club, find out what cool programs are happening just for them, read other teens' "online" reviews of books, music CDs, and movies, play games, complete "special" challenges, and even post their comments and suggestions.



Sign-up began on Monday, January 10th, 2011.

LIBRARY CALENDAR OF EVENTS

NEW! NEW! NEW!

Now everyone can view all the library's wonderful programs using our special "Events Calendar." For many of the programs, patrons can even register online and receive reminder notices. Just click on the link below, to see what events are coming up on a monthly basis.

By setting the calendar to "List View" you can even limit your searching to the types of programs that are age/grade appropriate, or are of the most interest to you.

Once you find the programs that you're really interested in coming to, then you can register for them and will even receive an e-mail reminder. If programs don't require you to register, then you can use the "Remind Me" function so you're guaranteed not to forget about the event.

If you have any questions or are having trouble trying to register for programs, please feel free to contact Denise J., the Teen Librarian and she will assist you in any way.

"ONLINE REVIEWS" FORM

Participants can submit “online” book and audio book reviews in order to be eligible to win a “special” prize. For each book and audio book review submitted, participants will receive a “mitten” to hang up in the Teen Section. At the end of the club, all of the “mittens” will be entered into a drawing for the “special” prizes.

Teens and “tweens” can also submit reviews of graphic novels or manga, music CDs, and even movies. However, participants do NOT receive “mittens” for these reviews. These reviews will only count towards “points” earned on their “Reading/Activity Log.”

Participants may submit as many “online” reviews as they wish. All reviews will be monitored by the Teen Librarian. Once they are accepted, they’ll be posted on this blog. Just use the link below, and make sure you fill in all of the necessary information about how you would like Denise J., the Teen Librarian to post your reviews to the blog.

THE 2011 "TEEN WINTER READING CLUB" HAS NOW OFFICIALLY ENDED.
