About Teen Read Week
Teen Read Week is an initiative of the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA). Teen Read Week started in 1998.Libraries across the world celebrate Teen Read Week with a variety of special events and programs aimed at encouraging teens to read for pleasure and to visit their libraries for free reading materials.
Why is it important to celebrate? For a lot of reasons! Teens have so many options for entertainment, so it's important to remind them to spend time reading for pleasure: it's free, fun, and can be done anywhere! Research shows that teens who read for fun have better test scores and are more likely to succeed in the workforce. Also, it’s a great chance to let your school or your public library communities know how important teen services are! Let teens know the possibilities that exist within your doors, and within the covers of books.

Title: Bump Platform: iOS, Android Cost: Free One day a teen I know came barreling into the community room for a program shouting to her friend, “I must bump with you!” Was this a new dance craze? A euphemism? What did it mean? The two pulled out their iPods, tapped at their touch screens, [...]
