Make Your Voice Heard - Vote Now!

Now's the time to vote for your favorite book of 2009. Teens' Top Ten is a "teen choice" list, where teens nominate and choose their favorite books of the previous year. Nominators are members of teen book groups in fifteen school and public libraries around the country. Teens across the country vote on their favorite titles each year. Readers ages twelve to eighteen can vote from August 24th through September 18th. Click on the image to start voting!


There are some great books on the list of nominations this year. It wouldn't surprise me if some of you have read most of them on the list! Make your voice heard, and vote today!

Summer Reading Wrap-Up

We had great participation in the Teen Summer Reading Program, with lots of entries into the weekly drawings. Seven winners received gift certificates for iTunes, the Candy Store on Main Street, and Paradise Hamburgers and Ice Cream.


Our grand prize winner of a beautiful blue iPod Nano was Brigette! She wrote lots of book reviews and had a good number of entries into the drawings. See - it pays to read!

Our new Teen Book Club got off to an exciting start with The Hunger Games, a gripping story of survival. At our meeting to discuss the book, we had food that might have appeared in the book. It was great fun with a turnout of 10 teens! If you'd like to join the book club, contact me at 415-789-2665, ext. 238 or email me at jschafer@bel-tib-lib.org.


School Starts! I hope you all get the classes you want and the best teachers available. Stop by the Teen Lounge on Tuesdays after school for snacks, games, socializing, and, oh yeah, homework! Starts September 1st.
