Read a Book with Bite!

Next week, October 12-18, is Teen Read Week, sponsored by the Young Adult Library Services Association of the American Library Association. Teen Read Week is directed at teens, parents, librarians, educators, booksellers, and other interested adults. “Read for the Fun of It” is the primary theme of Teen Read Week, but the sub-theme changes each year. This year’s sub-theme is “Books with Bite.” This theme promotes a variety of books along the “bite” theme, from vampires to cooking to technology (bytes). You can also join the readergirlz as they celebrate Teen Read Week every night on their live chat at the readergirlz forum on MySpace. Their themes are multicultural bites, verse bites, contemporary bites, fantasy bites, and gothic bites, with a list of Creekview favorite authors. Stop by the media center (or your local public library) to check out a Book with Bite and celebrate Teen Read Week!

Teen Read Week is Next Week!

Here’s a revised list of activities planned for Teen Read Week, October 22-26. The movie is free to anyone who wishes to attend, but we have limited seating, so you must come by the media center to pick up a ticket in advance. Only Blatant Bibliophile and Live Poet Society members are invited to the ice cream sundae bar on Wednesday, so spread the word! Please sign up by Monday, October 22 if you wish to participate in Trivia Thursday. We also need more participants to read poetry on Friday, October 26 for our first ever Coffeehouse Friday. Don’t forget to vote for your selection for a group book reading, Blatant Bibliophiles!
