Teen Read Week Reading List!

I told you guys about our awesome Teen Read Week theme on Friday and, then, today, I was reminded of all the really cool music themed teen reads there are out there. I decided to put together a list of a few of my favorite indie, rock, and music-centric Young Adult Books in honor of Teen Read Week. Enjoy!

P.S. The movie we're showing in Teen Central at 6 tonight was based off of one of these books. Figure out what it is using the Internet Movie Database.

Teen Read Week!

Can I just tell you guys how excited I am that it's almost Teen Read Week. We get to spend an entire week focusing on teens and books for teens. The bonus this year is that the theme is really cool. We're talking about "Books with Beat", so all of the books and programs we're featuring involve music. The very first one next week is Teen Central's 5th Birthday Bash. There will be music, games, fun, and cake galore. The really cool part is that we're going to have local teen band Epic Failure in to play for that event. If you missed them in our Garage Band competition this summer, be sure to be here for the party on Monday. The party starts at 4 and the band starts at 4:30. There's also going to be a game competition on Tuesday, a movie on Wednesday, candy sushi on Friday, and a dance performance on Saturday...and that's just in Teen Central. There are going to be 10 other programs around the branch library's for you to participate in. Check out all of our awesome programs here.
