Teen Summer Reading Grand Prize Winner

Oh, gee, that was such a build up and now here I am only going to tell you that the lucky teen will be announced this week! If you read 5 books or more, you will be entered into our grand prize drawing to win a $200 American Express gift card (aka a very nice shopping spree during which we hope you will buy lots of books or at least not $200 worth of candy. Hmm... Yum.... Candy.... Er, just kidding! Spend it as you see fit.) Congratulations to the 136 teens who participated in summer reading (give or take a few).

The top books read this summer by teens were:
1. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (but, of course. You have all shown incredibly good taste in your reading choices).
2. The Lightning Thief (ditto)
3. Sealed with a Diss by Lisi Harrison
4. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Congrats to all our readers!

Teen Reviewers

I've finally typed up all the teen galley reviews from the spring. Now, I have the problem that I want to read all the books (and have far too big a stack at home waiting. You know how it goes. Too little time, too many pages of printed word to absorb before you die). You can read the fresh batch of reviews online here. And don't forget to sign up for the fall's galley party on September 11th from 6 to 7 p.m. Call the Library to register at 655-1234 x117.

I have taken the quiz...

And I encourage all of you to do the same. As this is the summer of Jane Austen (including the movie Becoming Jane that I am going to see on Sunday), we should all invoke and explore our inner Janes. So find out if you are:
Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice
Eleanor from Sense and Sensibility
Emma from Emma
or...

Send me a comment when you find out who you are!
